How do I add BTCB to Metamask?

How exactly do I go about adding BTCB to my Metamask wallet? I've heard it's a relatively straightforward process, but I'd like to know the specific steps involved. Is there a specific network I need to be connected to? Do I need to add a custom token or does Metamask automatically recognize BTCB? Also, are there any security considerations I should be aware of when adding new tokens to my wallet? Could you please provide a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
