Does Discord show your SteamID when you link your account?

[☆]

Hey everyone!

I'm thinking about linking my Steam account to my Discord, but I have a quick question, will it show my SteamID or my player name in my Discord bio? My SteamID is pretty old and doesn't really fit me anymore, so I'd rather it not be that one lol.

Thanks in advance! 😊

It shows your profile name. But your ID can be seen by everyone regardless.

Your login name does not show up.

I think you are confusing the Steam ID (which is just a number) and the account name.

Nobody can see your account name.

a) dont
b) they can only show your name and player id (76561198970739205) .. your LOGIN name is NEVER shown anywhere and you should keep that private at all times

You will be targeted by scammers if you do.

the only people that are going to contact you on discord are scammers trying to get into your account

Steam's login system basically only sends your numerical SteamID to the provider. From discord's perpsective they basically go

"Ok Discord user X, does have control of Steam account with the SteamID Y"

And that's pretty much it. They dont' have access to anything else beyond that. Discord can only see what you make PUBLIC to everyone. If you make your profile private, Discord basically doesn't know ANYTHIGN about your account at all. Its why a common 'fix' for any service using Steam's OpenID is to unprivate your account settings. Because they need the information to be public to actually get information.
