I am currently trying to capture how many people start watching a YouTube video on one of my company's newer websites. All I want to know is how many people start watching the video and send the event_target to Tealium maybe with the title of the video. Then once I have sent this data to tealium I would like Tealium to foward this data to Google Analytics. How is this possible?

Yes, you can pass the information to GA.

The integration with GA4 does by default this.
