ScreenCam, formerly Lotus/IBM ScreenCam, is a Screen cast tool for Microsoft Windows that is utilized to create software demonstrations, software simulations, branched scenarios, and tutorials in .swf - also known as Adobe Flash format. IBM Lotus was primarily the developer of the ScreenCam application, but now, the program is owned by SmartGuyz. Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 can be utilized to open or view the video content saved in an SCM file, though the ScreenCam plug-in needs to be installed. ScreenCam was mainly intended for users who need to create video-oriented instructional materials. The ScreenCam plug-in was developed by SmartGuyz for users of Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 to incorporate SCM files into their MS PowerPoint presentations. Files with .scm extension are ScreenCam screen recording files having video content created from screen capture sequences. These screen capture videos can be generated with the use of the ScreenCam screen capture application. This program is capable to make documentation on the PC screen and adapt the recorded video content into viewable video files stored in the SCM format. The Stream Cam application can be utilized to stream the video content of files with the .scm extension.
