# Ingest Video from VMS

Media Server can ingest video from a Micro Focus Video Management Server.

To ingest video from VMS

1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Session]` section, add a new task by setting the `EngineN` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Session]
       Engine0=Ingest

3. Create a new section to contain the task settings, and set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to `VMS`.

   For example:

       [Ingest]
       Type=VMS

   TIP: There is no configuration parameter to specify the source. You must specify the URL of the stream that you want to ingest as the value of the `Source` parameter in the `Process` action, when you start processing.

4. Save and close the configuration file. Micro Focus recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.
