Regarding Social Login with Google Sign In

Updated January 2022

Please note Google has changed the behavior for Google Sign In for the gmail.com domain.  Users are no longer able to sign in via the “pop up” browser.  Based on testing, custom domains are no yet impacted.  We recommend using another sign in provider if you intend for gmail.com users to sign in.

You should provide potential viewers instructions on how to access your network using their default web browser.

So what can you do?  For now, if you intend to allow gmail.com users to sign in with google, there is not much you can do besides using a different social login method.
