What is a .CAM file?
CAM files are video files created by older versions of MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger to store recorded webcam conversations. The format saves compressed video captured during webcam sessions, allowing users to replay personal video chats after they were recorded. CAM files were commonly created in the early and mid-2000s, when Microsoft's instant messaging applications were widely used for online video communication.
You may encounter CAM files when recovering files from an older Windows computer or accessing archived MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger conversations. File Viewer Plus can play CAM files and convert them to MP4, making the recordings compatible with most devices and media players.
Alternate file extensions: .ml20
