If you want to experience Sora 2 firsthand, you can currently access it through the Web version and the iOS app. Both platforms allow you to generate AI videos using prompts, but access is invite-only, so you’ll need a Sora 2 invite code to get started.
If you don’t have an invite code, don’t worry—I’ve tested a verified way to access Sora 2. The third-party platform Global GPT has already integrated Sora 2, and you can use it freely without any verification. On October 16, Global also integrated Veo 3.1, so you can now access the two most powerful video-generation models simultaneously on Global GPT.
The first thing to know is that Sora 2 is currently limited to users in the U.S. and Canada. Users in other parts of the world who want to access it will need to use a VPN.
Accessing Sora 2 via the Web Version
The Sora 2 Web version is the easiest way to start experimenting without installing an app.
Simply go to the official Sora 2 website.
Find the ‘Join New Sora‘ button in the bottom-right corner.As shown in the image below.
After clicking the button, enter the invite code in the popup. If you don’t have a code, you can only use the older version of Sora.
Input your prompt to generate AI video content.
The Web interface is still fairly simple, but it works well for early users and offers a quick introduction to Sora 2’s capabilities.
Although the UI is basic, it provides full access to Sora 2’s video and audio generation features for testing purposes.
Accessing Sora 2 via the iOS App
The Sora 2 iOS app is currently only available in the U.S. App Store. To use it, you need:
- A U.S. Apple ID.
- A North American IP address.
- An invite code to log in.
Search for "Sora by OpenAI" in the App Store to find the app. Once installed, you can start generating videos and explore features like Cameos to include friends in your AI-generated stories.
Invite Code Requirement for Sora 2
Unfortunately, Sora 2 is invite-only. OpenAI is using a “limited access” approach to manage early adoption. You cannot enter the app or fully use Sora 2 without a valid invite code.
- Invite codes are primarily shared among friends.
- Each user can share multiple codes.
- Online communities such as X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit may also have users sharing codes.
Getting an invite code is essential for both the Web and iOS platforms.
Tips for Early Access to Sora 2
- Reach out to friends who already have a Sora 2 invite code.
- Monitor social media and forums for available codes.
- Make sure your setup meets requirements for iOS (U.S. Apple ID and North American IP).
- Start with the Web version if you don’t have iOS access yet, but remember you still need an invite code.
