You don’t, Twitch doesn’t disclose what other apps/services a user has connected to their account as it’s not the correct way to go about this sort of thing.

If you want to know a users Steam ID, you will need that user to go through a Steam OAuth flow so you’ll know their Steam ID, and also go through the Twitch OAuth flow for your app so you have their Twitch ID.

I asked that because i want to give a Rust (game) group when user subscribe to a twitch channel, i registered event for detecting that but i needed the steam id to do that.

P.S. [https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections](https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections) The steam id is shown here, so I thought it was possible

Thanks for the answer.
