About ML20 Files

An .ml20 file is a video file created by MSN Webcam Recorder, a utility used to record webcam conversations and video sessions from older versions of MSN Messenger. ML20 files typically contain captured webcam video and, in some cases, accompanying audio from recorded chats. The format was designed to save webcam recordings in a way that could be played back through the recorder software while preserving the original conversation footage.

You may encounter .ml20 files when accessing archived webcam recordings, recovering data from older computers, or restoring files created during the era when MSN Messenger was widely used. Digital archivists, retro computing enthusiasts, and users preserving personal recordings sometimes work with these files when organizing or converting legacy multimedia content.
