How to Find a User's SteamID
The SteamID is a unique identifier assigned to every Steam user. It is essential for managing game servers, adding players to whitelists, or configuring permissions within your Beacon Hosting services. This guide will help you find a user's SteamID quickly and accurately.
Step 1: Locate the User's Profile URL
First, navigate to the Steam profile of the user whose SteamID you want to find. You can do this by searching their username directly on Steam or by asking them to share their profile link.
Step 2: Identify the SteamID from the URL
Steam profiles use two types of URLs: one with a custom username and one with a numeric SteamID. If the URL looks like "https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198000000000", the number at the end is the user's SteamID64.
If the URL contains a custom username instead, such as "https://steamcommunity.com/id/username", you will need to convert this to a SteamID64 using an online converter.
[INFO] Use a reputable SteamID converter to ensure you get the correct SteamID64. Many free tools are available online that can convert custom Steam URLs to SteamID64 easily.
Step 3: Use the SteamID64 in Your Beacon Hosting Service
Once you have the SteamID64, you can use it within your Beacon Hosting game server or other services to manage user access, permissions, or for administrative purposes.
