# CUSTOM\_CO

The purpose of the Custom\_CO trigger is to initiate a stream based on an item, such as an asset, sequence, or composition.

These streams can be executed through the 'Custom CO' button in the [Assets](/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/helmutco/assets.md) tab, as well as within the[Helmut4 Panel](/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/helmut4-panel.md).

### Host Assignment / Limitation

{% hint style="warning" %}
This stream can be executed as a client (connected user) or server stream and ***cannot be assigned via a profile*** to another client.

Consequently, this means the stream cannot exceed a runtime of 60 seconds.
