1. Prerequisites & checks

  • You have an OpenAI account (email + password or via single sign-on).

  • You are eligible for or subscribed to ChatGPT Plus / Pro (if Sora is gated behind paid access in your region).

  • The Sora app or feature is available in your region (some countries may not yet be supported).

  • Your device (iOS, Android, or web) is compatible.


2. Sign-Up / Access Steps (General Flow)

Here’s a typical path for many users:

Step What to Do Notes / Region Caveats
1. Log in to OpenAI / ChatGPT Go to openai.com → log in Use the same account you intend to use for Sora
2. Confirm subscription Ensure you have ChatGPT Plus / Pro (or upgrade) In many regions, Sora access is unlocked for paid users
3. Visit Sora page / tool Through OpenAI’s site (e.g. openai.com/sora) or Sora 2 app The UI will show “get access” or “join” if available
4. Request / redeem invite If Sora is invite-based, enter a code or join a waitlist Some existing users may have invite codes to share
5. Download / install app For Sora 2, download from your app store (iOS initially) In unsupported countries, the app may not show; use web version (if allowed)
6. Complete onboarding steps Accept terms, verify identity, set up your profile You might be required to verify phone/email or consent to terms
7. Start using Sora AI Enter prompts, adjust settings, generate your first video Some features may remain limited until you gain full access

3. Country / Region Tips & Workarounds

Because Sora is rolling out gradually, certain countries have restrictions. Here’s how people are navigating:

Scenario Tip / Workaround Risk & Caution
Sora not available in your country Use a VPN to appear from a supported country (e.g. U.S.) May violate terms of service; could lead to access restriction
App not showing in your App Store (iOS) Switch your Apple ID region (temporarily) to one where Sora is available Apple may restrict region switching; be careful with subscription & local apps
No web access / blocked Use web version (if OpenAI allows) via browser or incognito mode Browser version may lack full features
Invite codes sold or shared Ask trusted users or official communities (Discord, forums) for invites — avoid paying for codes Many invite resales violate OpenAI’s policies
Access temporarily disabled Monitor updates from OpenAI / official channels — signup may reopen later Patience required during phased rollouts

4. Example Walkthrough (Hypothetical for Many Regions)

Let me walk you through a likely example:

  1. You have an OpenAI account and subscribe to ChatGPT Plus.

  2. You go to openai.com/sora (or via ChatGPT UI) → see a “Join Sora” or “Get Early Access” button.

  3. If invite-only, you paste your invite code. Otherwise, click “Enable Sora.”

  4. Download Sora 2 app (iOS) in the App Store in regions where it’s supported.

  5. Launch the app, allow permissions, and complete onboarding (profile, settings).

  6. You now see the prompt input; enter text instructions to generate video + audio.


5. What to Do If You Can’t Sign Up (Right Now)

  • Wait for regional rollout. Many users see “coming soon” or “not available in your region.”

  • Join OpenAI / Sora waitlists or updates. Follow official announcements.

  • Engage with communities. Reddit, Discord, or Facebook groups often share invite codes or access tips (but be cautious).

  • Check alternative access paths. In some places, Sora’s video generation is being integrated into other platforms (e.g., Bing’s video generator using Sora tech).

What is Sora AI?

Sora AI is OpenAI’s next-generation text-to-video model that converts written prompts into short, photorealistic videos with synchronized dialogue, ambience, and effects. It’s part of OpenAI’s broader generative media suite, now accessible via the Sora 2 app (iOS first) and OpenAI’s official platform.

How can I sign up for Sora AI?

To sign up:

  1. Go to openai.com/sora or download the Sora app (iOS).
  2. Log in or create an OpenAI account.
  3. If required, subscribe to ChatGPT Plus or Pro (some tiers include Sora access).
  4. Request or redeem an invite code if your region is still in the invite-only phase.
  5. Complete the onboarding steps and start generating videos.

Is Sora AI free?

No, not fully. Sora AI offers limited free access for early users through invites, but most capabilities are tied to ChatGPT Plus / Pro or future paid plans under OpenAI’s video generation platform.

Do I need an invite to use Sora AI?

In most countries, yes. Sora 2 is currently invite-based, and early access is granted to select users, creators, and partners. Invites are distributed directly by OpenAI—avoid purchasing codes from unofficial sources.

What countries can currently sign up for Sora AI?

As of October 2025, the Sora app is officially available in the U.S. and Canada, with gradual expansion to other regions. Users from unsupported countries may need to wait for rollout or join the global waitlist.

Can I use Sora AI on Android or web?

Currently, the Sora 2 app is iOS-only, but OpenAI has confirmed that web and Android versions are planned for future updates.

Does ChatGPT Plus / Pro include Sora AI?

Yes, many users with ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscriptions are being prioritized for Sora 2 access. However, inclusion may vary by region, account age, and rollout schedule.

Why can’t I sign up even though I’m a subscriber?

Access is still rolling out in phases. Even paying subscribers might not see Sora in their account yet. Keep checking your OpenAI dashboard or the Sora app — new accounts are being added daily.

Is Sora AI open source?

No. Sora is proprietary to OpenAI. It’s offered through OpenAI’s platforms, not as downloadable weights or code.

How do I know if my invite is real?

Official invites come from @openai.com emails or in-app notifications. Fake invites and scam links are common — never provide your credentials or payment info outside OpenAI’s verified pages.

What information is required during sign up?

During onboarding, you may be asked to:

  • Verify your email / phone
  • Accept OpenAI’s terms and conditions
  • Optionally enter an invite code
  • Set up your profile and permissions (if using cameo features)

How long does it take to get access after sign up?

If you’ve joined the waitlist or entered an invite code, access can take anywhere from a few hours to several days depending on region, availability, and verification status.

Are there fake Sora AI apps or websites?

Yes. Multiple fake Sora 2 apps have appeared on app stores and social media. Only download from the official OpenAI listing or openai.com/sora. Never trust third-party domains offering “Sora Sign-Up.”

What happens after I sign up?

Once approved, you’ll gain access to Sora’s interface where you can:

  • Enter text prompts
  • Select scene length, style, or camera angle
  • Generate video + sound in seconds
  • Download or share your creations directly

When will Sora AI launch worldwide?

OpenAI has stated that global rollout will occur gradually through late 2025 and early 2026, starting with English-speaking regions and later expanding to Europe, Asia, and Africa.
