True or False: A Google account is required to set up YouTube Live events.

A Google account is indeed required to set up YouTube Live events, making the statement inaccurate. YouTube Live is a feature that allows users to broadcast live video to their audience, and it is integrated with YouTube's platform, which necessitates a Google account for the channel creation required to access this functionality.

Without a Google account, users cannot create a channel on YouTube, which is a prerequisite for hosting live events. Although participants can join a live stream without a Google account, the event's creator and those managing the stream must have an account to ensure compliance with YouTube's policies and guidelines for live streaming. This creates a structured environment for content creation on the platform where accountability and user management are essential.
