And then there's the quick start guide. I'll just give you a quick flash of this. You can pause the video if you want to read any of this. But this guides you through plug in the USB-C cable provided. The Yoto Mini will power on automatically for setup. Plug it in here. Now it says Yoto app and there's a picture of a phone. So what it's trying to get you to do is to pair it with a Yoto app. Now I've already got a Yoto login. You can download the Yoto app really easily. If you create a login the Yoto app and your Yoto account will store any cards that you get. So if you lose the physical card, you've still got the card on your phone and you can still put it onto the Yoto player. And on the bottom of the app screen, I don't know if you can see this. It says create, library, discover and settings. I'm now going to click on settings and we'll scroll down to my players. Now I've already got a Yoto player. If you're doing this for the first time, you can click on set up a player. Then it says which Yoto are you setting up? And we're going to go for the Yoto Mini fourth gen. It says plug in your player. Your player needs to be plugged in while we set it up. Allow location access to find and connect your player. Allow nearby devices to find your player. So that's your phone can connect to the player. So I'll allow there. Bluetooth connected. Next, let's connect your player to Wi-Fi. Now this is great because if once you put the Mini player onto your Wi-Fi, you [music] can download cards and stream audio for free and and access all of the the free content that Yoto provides. So I'm going to click on connect to Wi-Fi. Now it's searching for Wi-Fi networks. Next it wants me to put in my Wi-Fi password. Now ironically, I need my kids to tell me what their password is these days. Let's type it in. I'll hit connect and then it says almost there. We're connecting to Wi-Fi. Connected. Updating your player. So already automatically does a firmware update. So that's the software that controls the player. It seems to be doing it automatically. Now, it says a few things worth knowing. Charging by adults only, no players in bed, not for kids under three, and keep it dry. But, so this new generation player can handle splashes, but you can't dunk it in the sink or the bath. You're all set. Pop in your welcome card to get started. Oh, what's that? You can hand the player over to your little listener. They can take it from here. All right, let's start with the basics. Cards are at the heart of how Yoto works. To play any card, put it in the slot on the top of your player, just like you did with this one. To stop it, simply pull the card out. Like that. But, the screen is actually showing icons while the audio is playing. And when I take the card out, it's got the the time, the correct time, unbelievably, and a little weather icon as well. Let's keep playing. I'll just push the card back in. By the way, that's how That's how Yoto players work, or one of the ways that they work is you can start and stop the device by just putting the card in and out of the player, and it just remembers where it was. There's two orange buttons, one on the left, one on the right. Twist the left button to adjust the volume to make it louder. Oh, wrong way. Or quieter. Oh. Twist the right button to browse through tracks, then press it to choose. Holding the left button down will let you rewind. How would you know that? And holding the right button down will let you fast forward. Oh, and that small white button on the side of your player? That's the power button. Give the power button a long press to turn it off or on, or press it quickly to see the battery level. Now, let's get into the green button. The green button lets you explore your library and play the audio on your player without needing to put a card in. You can add any audio or card in your library to your green button playlist at any time using the Yoto app, and then listening can happen whenever, wherever, card free, even offline. Twist the green button to scroll through the audio on your player. Once you found something you want to listen to, press the green button to play it. So, you can use this as a as a play and pause button. So, as well as taking the card in and out, you can use the green button for play and pause. When you scroll the green button, it scrolls through the different things that you can access quickly on the mini player. So, out of the box, it's showing the clock. And then when I turn the dial again, it shows that we're on chapter three of this welcome card. And if I turn it again, there's access to Yoto Daily. Incredibly, you get a free daily podcast and you can access it anytime by just turning the green dial. To get back to the card, I've turned the dial to show my card here, and then I'll press play by pressing in the green button. And Yoto Radio, our radio station playing constant kid-friendly tunes.

Your green button playlist will switch at nighttime. So, grownups, this means you can edit your daytime and nighttime playlist to have different content available. So, in the app, you can actually choose which podcasts the green button can access. And if you don't do that, they'll just be there anyway. You can just customize the list using the app. There's a whole world of free audio available. Grownups, you can explore the discovery section of the Yoto app to find thousands of hours of free podcasts, radio, stories, music, and more for your kids. Any of this audio, along with your own Yoto cards, can be added to your green button, so it's always there when you want it. There are also alarms and timers to help with routines, even the ability to record your own audio onto make-your-own [music] cards. You can use this card as one once you finish listening. When you're done listening to any new cards for the first time, just leave your player charging and connected to Wi-Fi, and they'll download to your player in the background. Once they're downloaded, they'll be available for offline listening. Great stuff. So, now we will set up the app. So, hit ready to explore the app. And already, as a message in the app, it says set up the green button. So, I'll click on that. Meet your green button. You can create one playlist for daytime and another for bedtime. And you can also add favourites and free podcasts and sleep sounds onto the green button. So, we'll go onto set up your green button. And the way to do this anytime is if you click on settings in the app, choose your player. So, I'm going to choose the 4th Gen mini. And these are the controls for the little player. I'll just scroll down just to give you an idea of some of the stuff here. So, you can set when you want morning to be, and you can set a volume limit for the daytime, and you can also set what you want on the green button in daytime hours. If you add cards to your account, you can then put them onto the green button playlist. If I go back, and it's exactly the same for night mode. So, you can decide when bedtime is. Oh, my kids now decide when their bedtime is. And you've got a nighttime volume limit as well. And you can have a different green button playlist for your green button at night time. And it comes preset with sleep radio and Yoto Dreams. Scroll down. You can set an alarm. Should we add an alarm? So, you can choose which days, and you can choose which sound will go off. Should we do a fanfare? Let's do a fanfare.

Back to the settings. You can rename your player. You can check the battery level, and you can see how many things you've downloaded onto the player itself. When you're going on a journey, you can download things onto the onto the player from the app. We've got auto power off, Bluetooth audio to pair this with Bluetooth headphones. You can either plug the headphones in here or to pair them with a Bluetooth headset, I hold down the left button for a couple of seconds, and then you can see a Bluetooth headphones icon showing. This is now in in pairing mode. I don't have Bluetooth headphones to hand, but that is how you do it. Back to the app, we can set volume limit for the headphones. You can choose to have regular time or 24-hour clock time. I use 24-hour clock time in in our house. I tried to run that a miniature operation. The mission isn't going very well, and this is where your latest firmware version will show. One final recap of the buttons. The left button, you turn it left and right to go up and down. If you want to skip back a track, you press the left button once. If you want to rewind, you just hold down the left button. On the right button, you can turn the dial to go through different tracks on the audio that's playing. If you want to skip to the next track, you press the right button once, and fast forward you just hold down that button. So, rewind, fast forward. Power button, on off, is a long press of this button, and if you want to quickly check the battery, just press it once quickly, and it brings up the battery level there.
