Well, there are multiple ways to get your steam ID and below is one from the many:
-
Go to your profile in the steam desktop client, you will be able to see the profile link and from this url you can take the steam id. But if you have set a custom ID then the URL would have been replaced by the custom name
-
If the above step didn't help you in getting the steam id, then follow this:
-
Go to your profile on top right and click on Account details
-
Now copy your Steam ID from the webpage as shown below
-
Save it in your repo as Repository Variables
- If you have already set your custom ID or URL previously then you can get it directly from your steam profile URL
- If not set yet, then go to your profile settings - General tab
- Add a custom name as shown below in the screenshot. And this will be your Steam Custom ID as well
Atmost it will take 5 mins to setup all the Prerequisites. Thank you for your patience!
