How do you properly report a cheater while on console?

I have at the very least two cheaters in a game with me right now. They have commonly use very normal names (Shy, Sweat, VAC) for steam, so I can't even look them up in an efficient enough time to find their steam ID. (I'm not much sure how to anyway.) I've never known exactly the best way to report these people as I can't type anything in a box in game if I try to report them that way. As well as this, they are now using streamer mode so I can't even find them to report them.

    You need their Steam ID and going to the proper website to report it, which is nearly impossible to get on Console unless someone has an oddly specific name or identification you can find. But since most cheaters use small and common names, it is basically impossible to file a proper report on Console. And using the ingame reporting system is useless since you cant even put a description with proof of them cheating as well.

    Yet again another instance of Console players getting left in the dust.

    You don't need their steam ID if you're reporting from console. You need to make an in-game report, have some video evidence and then make a report on their website with said video evidence. Link to Website

    As long as you made an in-game report then they can find the cheaters ID themselves by using your ID since it'll make a snapshot of all the relevant information from your in-game report.

    It's a bit of the pain having to go to a separate website as well as upload a video just to report a cheater but at the moment, this is the only way.

    If you are in the game and have made the required report, ID is no longer required to report additional information later.
