The first time you play a card, make sure your player is connected to Wi-Fi so the audio can be downloaded. Interactive card compatibility coming soon. Our 4th Gen Yoto players run on an all-new platform, so a few features aren’t available just yet. This is temporary, and we’re working to make them available as soon as possible. We’ll keep [this page](https://support.yotoplay.com/en_gb/interactive-yoto-cards-and-4th-generation-players-what-you-need-to-know-Sypn8apdzg) updated with the latest information. ## ## **What is the difference between Yoto Player and Yoto Mini?** Yoto Player 4th Gen is made for family life at home, while Yoto Mini 4th Gen is designed to take Yoto on the go. **Yoto Player 4th Gen** is the heart of the family home, with features to help with sleep, mornings and evening routines. Its full-panel night light creates a soothing glow, while the stereo sound is great for music, getting immersed in a story or settling down with sleep sounds. **Yoto Mini 4th Gen** is the smaller, portable option, perfect for travel and adventures. It shares many of the same great Yoto features as Player, including the new Green Button, giving kids quick access to personal playlists of up to 20 titles for day and night, even when their Yoto Cards aren't to hand. Instead of the Yoto Player's full-panel night light, Mini prioritises portability and durability, with an IP67 water and dust-resistant design that's ready for the rough and tumble of childhood. ## **How does the Green Button work?** The Green Button gives kids quick access to their favourite audio, no Yoto Card needed. Just twist to browse and press to play. There are two playlists: one for daytime and one for night time, each holding up to 20 titles. Yoto Daily and Yoto Radio are included in the daytime playlist by default, with Yoto Sleep Radio ready for night time. Grown-ups can customise both playlists in the Yoto App, adding audio from their library including stories, music, podcasts, radio stations, soundscapes, timers, sleep sounds and even your own recordings. Once added, compatible audio downloads to the player, so kids can browse and listen even when they’re offline or on the move. Some audio, including radio stations and podcasts, requires an internet connection to stream. **Using the Green Button is simple:** * **Twist** to browse through titles and see their artwork on the display. * **Press** to play the title you’ve chosen. * **Press again** to pause. * **Press and hold** to eject the audio and return to the clock. * **Press when no audio is playing** to instantly play the first title in the current day or night playlist. By default, that’s Yoto Daily during the day and Yoto Sleep Radio at night. Grown-ups can change which title appears first in either playlist at any time in the Yoto App. On previous generations of Yoto Player, a single press of the right-hand button provides this quick-access function. ## **What is the difference between the old and new Yoto players?** Yoto Player and Yoto Mini 4th Gen offer kids more choice, are more personal and are better equipped for family life. * **More choice for kids:** The new Green Button and Day & Night Modes give kids even more independence over their listening, letting them twist straight to their favourites – handy when their favourite Yoto Card “must be here somewhere”. * **Made for family routines:** Day & Night Modes make it easy to have different favourites ready for different parts of the day – from Yoto Daily over breakfast to sleep sounds at bedtime. There are handy features like toothbrush timers too, while Yoto Player's new full-panel night light gives families even more ways to set the mood for bedtime, wake-up and everything in between. And Yoto Mini is ready to come along for it all, with IP67 water and dust resistance for the rough and tumble of childhood. * **A big upgrade on the inside, too:** We've overhauled the technology inside both players, informed by feedback from our community of Yoto families. Audio downloads to the player faster, interactions feel more responsive, and improved Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity make connecting to the Yoto App and Bluetooth headphones smoother and more reliable. And there's more to come. The new technology inside 4th Gen gives us greater scope to develop the Yoto experience over time, bringing new features and enhancements to Yoto Player and Yoto Mini. ## **What is the display for?** The display brings a visual dimension to Yoto's audio-first experience. Title artwork helps kids browse and choose what they want to listen to using the Green Button - much like picking a Yoto Card from their card case - while pixel icons help them navigate chapters and tracks as they listen. When audio isn't playing, the display also works as a clock, with customisable day and night settings that can help with family routines - including acting as an okay-to-wake cue. ## **What else do I get when I buy a Yoto player?** There's plenty to get you started! Every Yoto Player and Yoto Mini comes with a USB-C charging cable and a Welcome Card, which doubles as your first Make Your Own Card. You'll also find a set of fun stickers so kids can personalise their Card and make it their own. Grown-ups can then add their own recordings or audio from their library or the Yoto App, ready to pop in and play. You'll also find a digital Yoto Card ready to go in your Yoto App library – Journey Jams with Yoto Mini and 5 Minute Stories From Around The World with Yoto Player. It's a great first listen, and an easy way to try adding audio to the Green Button or your new Make Your Own Card. And there's plenty more to discover in the Yoto App. Alongside managing your players and Yoto Card library, you'll find award-winning podcasts, multiple radio stations from Yoto and our partners, monthly digital Yoto Cards, sleep sounds and soundscapes, alarms and handy timers for everything from brushing teeth to homework. The App is also home to Create, where grown-ups can record or add their own audio, ready to use with a Make Your Own Card or add to a Green Button playlist. It's a mix of free audio to discover and useful features to help with everyday family routines. ## **What are the benefits of audio on a Yoto player?** Audio on Yoto gives kids the freedom to choose what they want to listen to and enjoy it their way – whether they're getting lost in a story, dancing to music, learning something new or listening together with family and friends. It's listening that puts kids in control. For grown-ups, Yoto offers confidence in what kids are exploring. The Yoto catalogue is carefully curated with young listeners in mind, with stories, music, podcasts and more ready to discover. Grown-ups can then shape the experience around their family, from choosing new Yoto Cards to personalising Green Button playlists and adding their own audio. And there's plenty worth discovering. Kids can enjoy much-loved characters and stories including The Gruffalo, Winnie-the-Pooh and Harry Potter, explore our collection of Yoto Originals, or tune in to free audio like the award-winning Yoto Daily podcast. ## **Why is it called 4th Gen?** 4th Gen represents the latest generation of Yoto technology with both Yoto Player and Yoto Mini together on the same hardware platform. While Yoto Player and Yoto Mini have each evolved at different times in the past, this is a significant update to both players inside and out. They share more of the same underlying technology. In addition, calling them both 4th Gen makes it easier to know that you're looking at Yoto Player and Yoto Mini from the same era.
