Overview
- The Sora app is now on Google Play in the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam after a viral iOS debut in September.
- Access to video generation remains invite‑controlled, though a limited promotion lets some new Android users try Sora without an invite in select regions.
- Powered by the Sora 2 engine, the app creates hyperreal short videos with audio, supports user likeness “cameos,” enables remixing, and features a TikTok‑style social feed.
- OpenAI tightened moderation after deepfake misuse, paused content depicting Martin Luther King Jr., and shifted from opt‑out to opt‑in controls for rights holders.
- A legal dispute with Cameo over the “Cameo” feature name continues, while OpenAI signals upcoming additions such as character cameos, clip stitching, and feed customization.
