1. Types of User Steam ID’s

1. SteamID (SteamID32 or STEAM_0)

This is the original format used since the early days of Steam. It is most commonly used for setting up admin permissions in multiplayer source games (like Counter-Strike or Garry’s Mod).

• Format Example: STEAM_0:0:1234567

2. SteamID64 (Community ID)

This is a unique 17-digit number assigned to every Steam account. It is the most universally used ID today, especially for third-party tracking sites, linking accounts (like Discord or Epic Games), and server administration.

• Format Example: 76561198000000000
• Tip: This number is also what appears at the end of your default Steam profile URL.

3. SteamID3 (U:1)

A newer, shorter format introduced by Valve. It is primarily used internally by Steam and in games like Dota 2 or Team Fortress 2 for trade offers and backend tracking.

• Format Example: [U:1:1234567]

4. Custom URL (Vanity URL)

This isn’t a permanent ID, but rather a personalised username chosen by the player to replace the long SteamID64 in their profile link. It can be changed by the user at any time.

• Format Example: https://steamcommunity.com/id/YourCustomName

Tip:

If a game server or website asks for your Steam ID and doesn’t specify which one, they almost always want the SteamID64. You can find yours instantly by pasting your profile link into any public Steam ID finder tool such as steamid.io
