+title: "Media player toggle action changed"
+---
+
+The implementation of the toggle action service has been adjusted in the media player base class.
+The media player will now be turned on if it is in the states `off` or `standby`; in all other states, it will be turned off.
+
+Before this change, the media player would also be turned on if it was in state `idle`. This was not in line with the meaning of the `idle` state, as it is counted as [a state where the device is already turned on](/docs/core/entity/media-player#states).
+
+Custom integrations which have overridden the `async_toggle` may need to update their implementations.
+
+The change is introduced in the [home assistant core PR #78192](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/78192).
