Hello,
I have a one year old toro smart stow 22 inch lawnmower that stopped working
and will not start.

Checked: cleaned air filter, changed oil, new gas

This is a video of the sound it makes when we attempt to start:

Did you hit anything substantial with the mower blade prior the engine
stalling? It could have happened immediately before or even during
recent past mowing sessions. If so, you could have a broken flywheel
key, which isn't as bad as it sounds, read about it he

Also, you can try removing the air filter and spraying a little
starting fluid into the intake of the carburetor, then, try starting
it. If it starts then dies, you probably have a vacuum leak, which
could be anything from a cracked plastic primer bulb to a loose
carburetor.
