How to Find Your Steam ID (Step-by-Step Guide)

So, you’re trying to find your Steam ID? Whether it’s for adding friends, troubleshooting, or linking your account somewhere, knowing your Steam ID can be super helpful. The good news? It’s easier than you think!

Let’s walk you through it in a fun, step-by-step way. You’ll feel like a pro in no time!

💡 What Is a Steam ID?

Your Steam ID is a unique number or name that identifies you on Steam. Think of it like a gamer version of a name tag!

Steam IDs come in a few forms:

• SteamID: A long number like 76561198012345678
• Custom URL: A name you chose, like steamcommunity.com/id/CoolGamer123
• SteamID3: A short ID like [U:1:12345678]

Now let’s go get that ID!

🔍 Method 1: Find It Through Your Steam Profile

1. Open the Steam app (or website) and log in.
2. Click on your username in the top menu.
3. Select “Profile” from the dropdown.
4. Look at the URL at the top. It’ll look like:

https://steamcommunity.com/id/YourCustomName
or
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198012345678

That’s your Steam ID! If it shows numbers, that number is your unique Steam64 ID. If it shows a name, that’s your custom URL.

🎯 Method 2: Enable Your Steam URL

Sometimes, the URL bar doesn’t show in the Steam client. Let’s fix that.

1. Open Steam and go to Settings (click Steam at top-left, then choose Settings).
2. Go to Interface.
3. Check the box that says: “Display Steam URL address bar when available”.
4. Click OK.

Now go back to your Profile and BAM — the URL at the top reveals all!

🧠 Method 3: Use the “View Profile” Method

1. From your Steam home screen, click your username at top.
2. Click “Profile”.
3. Right-click anywhere on the page (not on games or links).
4. Choose “Copy Page URL”.

Now open Notepad, paste it, and voila! Your Steam ID in full view.

🚀 Method 4: Use SteamID Finder Websites

Still confused? No worries — let the internet help!

1. Go to a Steam ID lookup site like steamid.io
2. Paste your profile URL into the search bar.
3. Click ENTER and all ID types will pop up!

This includes:

• SteamID
• SteamID3
• SteamID64
• Your custom profile name
