5Tube is an unofficial mod. It is not connected to, supported by, or sponsored by Google or YouTube. All names, logos, and trademarks belong to their owners.

Use 5Tube only in GTA V Story Mode. Do not use it in GTA Online.

Requirements

• Script Hook V


• ScriptHookVDotNet v3


• Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime

Installation

1. Install Script Hook V, ScriptHookVDotNet v3, and Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime if not already installed.


2. Copy and paste (or drag and drop) all contents into your GTA V scripts folder.


3. Start GTA V


4. Press Ctrl + E to open 5Tube.

After installation, the following files should exist:

• Grand Theft Auto V\scripts\5Tube.dll


• Grand Theft Auto V\scripts\5Tube\5TubeOverlay.exe


• Grand Theft Auto V\scripts\5Tube\5Tube.ini

Note: Do not open 5TubeOverlay.exe yourself. GTA V starts it automatically when 5Tube needs it. If opened outside GTA V, it will close immediately, this is normal and intentional.

Borderless Fullscreen is recommended if the 5Tube window does not appear above GTA V in normal Fullscreen mode. Some graphics cards may require it.

YouTube still controls its own advertisements, age limits, country limits, video access, and whether a video is allowed to play inside an embedded player. Some videos may not play through 5Tube.

Antivirus Notice
A small number of antivirus programs may flag 5TubeOverlay.exe. This happens because 5Tube uses WebView2, GTA V window controls, and code protection. If your antivirus shows a warning, check the file carefully before allowing it. The source code is available on GitHub for anyone to inspect or build the mod themselves.

Open Source
5Tube is released under the MIT License. You are welcome to view the code, modify it, or build something new. If you share your own version, please give credit and make it clear that it is an unofficial version.
