When you start the Wirecast stream, **ZEC** will automatically add the RTMP stream to the **Input** and remove it once you stop the stream on Wirecast.  If you want you can save the input stream, so you can use the input stream configuration at a later time.

**To save the stream configuration:**

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
In **ZEC**, go to **Inputs**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click the Gear icon on the right side of the Input that appears.

Click **Save**.

We can go ahead and configure ZEC to send this stream as a **Zixi Push output** to a **Broadcaster** or **MediaConnect** either on the **Broadcaster** and **ZEC** UI’s or through **ZEN Master**.
