Google Drive Userscript

Disclaimer

Unsupported

This functionality is provided as-is for backwards compatibility for existing users for whom it already is known to work. There are many reasons, known and unknown, for which it may not work for you; please note the staff in CyTube support channels cannot provide any troubleshooting assistance and you will be asked to simply use a different video provider.

This functionality was originally added so that users could share their own personal videos stored in their Drive. No support whatsoever will be provided to users attempting to use it to circumvent copyright restrictions on third-party video hosts.

How It Works

The userscript is a short script that you can install using a browser extension such as Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey that runs on the page and provides additional functionality needed to play Google Drive videos.

Installation

  • Chrome—Install Tampermonkey.
  • Firefox—Install Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey.
  • Other Browsers—Install the appropriate userscript plugin for your browser. Tampermonkey supports many browsers besides Chrome.

Once you have installed the userscript manager addon for your browser, you can install the userscript. If this link 404s, it means the administrator of this server hasn't generated it yet.

You can find a guide with screenshots of the installation process on GitHub.
