How to Get a Sora 2 Invite Code
The complete guide to accessing OpenAI's viral AI video app
You might not need an invite code anymore
If you're in the US, Canada, Japan, or South Korea, you can now access Sora 2 without an invite code for a limited time. Just download the app and sign in with your ChatGPT account.
Everyone else still needs an invite code. The best place to find one is the Reddit Sora 2 Megathread or the official OpenAI Discord.
Sora 2 Invite Codes (Shared Online)
These codes were posted by the community. They expire after approximately 4 uses, so there's no guarantee they'll still work. Click any code to copy it.
If a code doesn't work, it's already been used. Check the Reddit Megathread for fresh codes.
Never pay for Sora 2 codes. All legitimate codes are free. Selling codes violates OpenAI's terms of service.
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 is OpenAI's text-to-video AI model, released in late 2025. It generates realistic short video clips with sound, dialogue, and physics-accurate movement from simple text prompts.
The Sora app works like TikTok or Instagram Reels — you can scroll through AI-generated videos, create your own, and share them. A feature called "Cameos" lets you upload a video of yourself so the AI can generate clips with your likeness.
- Text-to-video generation with sound and dialogue
- Physics-accurate motion (objects bounce, fall, and move realistically)
- Cameos feature to appear in AI-generated videos
- TikTok-style feed for discovering content
- Free tier with daily generation limits
How to Get a Sora 2 Invite Code (Step-by-Step)
If you're outside the eligible countries, follow these steps to obtain an invite code through the OpenAI Discord server:
Sign in to Sora with Your ChatGPT Account
Head to sora.com and log in using your existing ChatGPT credentials. Once signed in, you'll see the welcome screen with the option to enter an invite code.
Join the Official OpenAI Discord Server
Navigate to the OpenAI Discord server and sign in with your Discord account (create one if needed). Accept the server invitation to join the community.
Complete Account Verification
After joining, you'll need to answer three questions and agree to the server rules. Then navigate to the left sidebar, click the OpenAI logo, and select the #openai-verification channel. Click "Verify with OpenAI" to link your ChatGPT account — this confirms you have an active OpenAI account.
Grab Codes from the #sora-2 Channel
Once verified, refresh Discord and navigate to the #sora-2 channel. This is where community members share spare invite codes. When a code appears, copy it immediately and paste it into the Sora website — codes get claimed within minutes.
How to Access Sora 2 Without a Code
If you're in the US, Canada, Japan, or South Korea, OpenAI has temporarily opened access without requiring an invite code:
Download the Sora app
Get the app from the Apple App Store. Look for the navy and white cloud icon. Android users can access Sora through the web at sora.com.
Sign in with your ChatGPT account
Use the same login you use for ChatGPT or ChatGPT Plus. If you don't have an account, create one first.
Start creating
That's it. No invite code required. You can immediately browse the feed, watch videos, and generate your own clips.
OpenAI says this code-free access is available for a "limited time only." If you're in an eligible country, sign up now before it changes.
Creating Videos with Sora 2
Once you have access, you can start generating AI videos by typing a text prompt. Sora 2 also supports a "Cameos" feature that lets you add yourself or others to videos.
To use Cameos, you'll need to complete a quick video and audio setup on your phone first. After that, you can select your likeness (or others who have shared theirs) when creating new videos — the AI will generate clips featuring those faces.
Keep your prompts detailed but concise. Describe the scene, camera movement, and mood for best results. Example: "A golden retriever running through autumn leaves in slow motion, cinematic lighting, 4K"
