# Install Custom Connectors for Confluent Cloud Confluent allows you to upload and use your custom connector in Confluent Cloud. What are custom connectors? : Custom connectors are connectors created based on Kafka Connect plugins that are uploaded to Confluent Cloud by users. This includes connector plugins that are built from scratch, modified open-source connector plugins, or third-party connector plugins. Note that, except for specific [Confluent Partners](custom-connector-fands.md#cc-byoc-partner-certified), Confluent does not provide enterprise support for connector plugins uploaded to Confluent Cloud by users. Confluent only provides enterprise support for the Kafka Connect infrastructure with this feature.
