Based on Chromium, it allows for smooth video playback if you find an APK compatible with Android 5.
Because of these restrictions, the "top" versions for Android 5.1.1 are actually the final versions that were coded to support the old architecture.
If you prefer an app, you can try installing an older version of the YouTube APK that is compatible with Android 5.1. However, this comes with significant risks:
If you prefer an app interface, you can manually install the last version of YouTube that officially supported Android 5.0 and 5.1.
NewPipe is a legendary open-source YouTube client. While the main version requires newer Android releases, the developers have historically maintained a "Legacy" version specifically targeting Android 4.4 through Android 5.x.

The intersection of rapidly evolving software and aging hardware presents one of the most frustrating dilemmas in the modern tech landscape. A prime example of this friction is attempting to run the native app on devices operating on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) . Once a revolutionary mobile operating system released by Google, Android 5.1.1 has largely been relegated to the sidelines of the digital era. Because Google routinely updates its APIs and security protocols, older operating systems eventually lose official support for core applications. As a result, users attempting to access the world’s largest video-sharing platform on a Lollipop device are met with a digital brick wall, forcing them to find creative workarounds to keep their hardware functional.
