Steam is a platform on PC that hosts a huge variety of videogames, from popular titles like Outriders to smaller Indie game titles. It allows players to connect with one another by playing online together or discussing videogames via the community section.

Once you make an account you get to choose their own gamer tag (the name you are known as on the platform) and alongside this, you get a Steam ID. You can use your Steam ID to link other people to your page. It's essentially another way of identifying your unique account.

There are a few ways to find the ID but this way is the simplest and quickest.

Firstly you need to open your Steam application. 

IMPORTANT: If you use a downloaded app or use it directly on an internet browser, you can find your Steam ID the same way - through accessing your account details.

Log in to the account that you want to know the ID for.

Steam Application Home Screen Library

When you have logged in, you should see the home screen.

Look at the top right-hand corner of your screen.

In line with the menu bar, there should be a little section displaying your gamer tag. 

Hover over this using your mouse and click it. A drop box should appear.

Click on the option that says ''Account Details''.

This should bring up a page that looks like this:

Your gamer tag will be displayed at the top of the page.

Directly underneath your name will be a smaller section of text.

It will say ''Steam ID: *****************'' and it will have a 17 digit number.
