Finding a SteamID64
A SteamID64
is one of the multiple ways steam provides to uniquely identify a Steam account, and it's the newer format of Steam ID's that are used by games, software, and mods to identify players that are logging into a Steam based server. You'll often need to find your, or another players, SteamID64
in order to configure a server to treat that Steam account differently in some way. This can be adding them as a Server Admin, adding them to a Whitelist, or running in-game commands that need to specify the user they act on.
You can find a Steam accounts SteamID64
using SteamID.io and entering the information you already have about the account, such as their username or account URL, into the search box. After you get the result you're looking for, you want to click the copy icon on the far right of the steamID64
row. That will place the SteamID64
of the account you found into your clipboard and you'll be able to use it in whatever system you're setting up.
