About ULS files

The .ULS file extension is a NetMeeting User Location Service File used by Microsoft NetMeeting. It contains server addresses, IP information, and directory pointers used to establish a VoIP or video call connection. Microsoft discontinued NetMeeting over two decades ago. Modern operating systems lack support for this software. The disadvantage of the .ULS format is its absolute dependence on a defunct software ecosystem. You cannot double-click and use these files today. Because they are plain text or INI-style configuration files, the best conversion target is TXT. Converting to text allows you to recover the historical connection data, though the functional VoIP aspect is lost. This file format is difficult to open or convert because standard online converters fail to recognize obsolete file types.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ULS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted CIPO and SLS files.
