Google has changed the user interface for obtaining OAuth credentials since this video was created. The functionality is the same, but the appearance is somewhat different from what's depicted here.

  1. Go to your app's page in the Google APIs Console — https://console.developers.google.com/apis
  2. Choose Credentials from the menu on the left.
  3. Create an OAuth Client ID.
  4. This will require you to configure the consent screen, with the same choices as in the video.
  5. When you're presented with a list of application types, choose Web application.
  6. You can then set the authorized JavaScript origins, with the same settings as in the video.
  7. You will then be able to get the client ID and client secret.

You can also download the client secret as a JSON data file once you have created it.
