  2. Once the website has loaded you will need to enter one of the following options:
    1. Steam profile URL (E.g. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960287930 or http://steamcommunity.com/id/gabelogannewell)
    2. Steam username
    3. SteamID (E.g. STEAM_0:0:11101)
    4. SteamID64 (E.g. 76561197960287930)
    5. SteamID3 (E.g. [U:1:22202])
  3. Click on the lookup button and you should now get their SteamID in all the available formats
  4. Copy the SteamID in the format you need it and enter it in the relevant place
