Here’s a step-by-step guide with bullet points on how to configure the OAuth consent screen in Google Cloud Console:

  • Sign in to the Google Cloud Console using your Google account credentials.
  • Select the desired project from the project dropdown menu at the top of the page. If you don’t have a project yet, create a new one.
  • From the left-hand menu, click on “APIs & Services” and then select “OAuth consent screen”.
  • On the OAuth consent screen page, select the user type for your app (Internal, External, or Test).
  • Click on the “Create” button to start configuring the consent screen.
  • Choose the user type and click on the “Continue” button.

  • Optionally, you can upload a logo for your application by clicking on the “Add or change logo” button.
