Finding Someone's SteamID: A Step-by-Step Guide

In online gaming, a player's SteamID is a unique identifier associated with their Steam account. SteamIDs are often used by server administrators to manage players, such as banning or unbanning users. If you need to find someone's SteamID, this guide will provide you with an easy-to-follow method using an online tool called SteamID Finder.

What You'll Need

To find a player's SteamID, you'll need to have their Steam profile URL or their custom Steam username. If you don't have this information, you may need to ask the player to provide it.

Using SteamID Finder to Locate a Player's SteamID

Follow these steps to find someone's SteamID using the SteamID Finder website:

Visit the SteamID Finder website at https://steamid.io/.
In the search bar, enter the player's Steam profile URL or custom Steam username. The Steam profile URL usually looks like this: https://steamcommunity.com/id/customusername or https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/numericalID.
Click the "Lookup" button to search for the player's SteamID.
The website will display the player's SteamID information, including SteamID64, SteamID3, and SteamID32.
Note down the required SteamID format for your specific purpose. For most gaming server management tasks, the SteamID64 format is commonly used.

Alternative Method: Finding SteamID through the Steam Client

If you have the player added as a friend on Steam, you can also find their SteamID using the Steam client:

Launch the Steam client and sign in to your account.
Navigate to your friend's list and locate the player whose SteamID you need.
Right-click on the player's name and select "View Profile."
Once you're on their profile page, click the "More" dropdown menu next to the "Add Friend" button.
Select "Copy Page URL" to copy the player's Steam profile URL.
Follow steps 1-5 in the "Using SteamID Finder to Locate a Player's SteamID" section above, pasting the copied URL into the search bar on the SteamID Finder website.
