It never changes and remains the same even if the player changes nickname. Knowing the user's Steam id, you can search for information about the user.

How to see the

The easiest way to find out Steam ID in CS:GO – is to use the console available in Counter Strike. You can open the console with the key «~» (in Russian layout it is the key with the letter «ё»), if you have not changed the control settings, of course. By typing the command «status» and pressing «Enter», you will see a lot of useful information, including a list of users connected to the server. 

For each of them you will see the name and the Steam id: it is in the column labeled «uniqueid» and starts with the word «steam_». For example, if you suddenly suspect that one of the players is using cheats, use this command to see the steam id of this type and file a complaint against him. You can copy the necessary information from the console, as in any other program, using CRTL+C and CTRL+V. In addition to your unique id, other interesting information will appear in the console, for example: 

• name – the nickname of the player that others can see

• ping – ping at the moment of request; 

• loss – packet loss and its cause. 

So the knowledge of how to find out your steam id in CS:GO using the status command will be useful in other cases - By the way, the same method works in any other Valve games created on the Source Engine or GoldSrc – console commands in them are the same.

How to open the console

To apply this method of how to find out your Steam id in CS GO, you need to know how to open the console. If you click on «~» and nothing happens, you need to enable the console in the game settings first. To do this, after startup, open the settings, select the tab «Game» and look for the item «Enable Developer Console». For the console to be available, there must be «yes». If you don't feel comfortable turning it on with the button «~», or if you constantly forget where that little icon (called tilde, by the way) is located, you can change it to another key in the tab «Keyboard and Mouse». 

Another way to get the console to be always on – add «-console» to the game's startup options. To open them, open the game settings in the Steam Library and click on «Set Launch Options». There you can also set other useful things, for example, assign high priority to the game, reduce CPU load or tweak network parameters, but that's a separate story. 

How else to view Steam ID 

Digging into the console – is not the only way to find out your Steam ID in Counter-Strike. You can often see this number in the address page. Open your profile page in stime, right click anywhere and select «copy page address». Paste it into your browser, and chances are you'll see a bunch of numbers there after the word «id». This will only work if the player has not set a customized link in the profile settings. In the latter case, after «id» will be written a nickname, which is not what we need. 

To find out what digits the id consists of, insert «?xml=1»at the end of the address line. Instead of the web page, a list of all profile data will open, and in the second line (the one that says «steamID64») your id will be written.
