When a Yoto card that has been played recently is removed from the Yoto Player, it can feel slightly warm to the touch - a bit like how a phone warms up when the screen's been on for a while. The warmth comes from the player's LED display, and it's a completely normal byproduct of it running.

To keep things operating well, make sure your player is on a stable, flat surface for proper ventilation. Players are not designed for extreme room temperatures, so avoid leaving it in very hot or very cold spots (think: not next to a radiator, or on soft surfaces like beds).

If a card ever feels uncomfortably hot rather than just warm, remove the card, unplug the player, and if it doesn't cool down quickly, drop our Customer Happiness team a message for further support.
