You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .scm. Files with the file extension .scm can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .scm files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .scm file?
The ScreenCam plug-in was developed by SmartGuys for users of Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 to integrate SCM files into their MS PowerPoint presentations. Files in the .scm format are ScreenCam screen recording files containing video content developed from screen capture sequences. These screen capture videos can be created using the ScreenCam screen capture application. This program can record the PC screen and convert the recorded video content into viewable video files stored in the SCM format. The StreamCam application can on the other hand be used to stream the video content of files with the .scm extension. IBM Lotus was initially the developer of the ScreenCam application, but the program is now owned by SmartGuyz. Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 can be used to open or view the video content stored in an SCM file, though the ScreenCam plug-in needs to be installed. There are third party applications which can be used to convert SCM files into more popular digital video data formats, for wider cross compatibility support in terms of offline and online playback or streaming.
how to open a .scm file?
Launch a .scm file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .scm file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .scm files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .scm file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .scm file will open the correct application.

what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .scm. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
