Can you access OpenAI Sora now?
No. As of November 12, 2026, OpenAI’s Sora web and app experiences are discontinued, and the Sora API is discontinued too. That means there is no current official Sora interface to open or OpenAI Sora API to use for new video generations. OpenAI lists the discontinuation dates as April 26, 2026, for the web and app experiences, and September 24, 2026, for the API. (help.openai.com)
If you wanted to use Sora in a browser or app
There isn’t a current sign-in or subscription path that will enable Sora. Historical guides describing a Sora website, app, or ChatGPT-plan access explain an earlier version of the product; they aren’t current instructions. Don’t purchase a ChatGPT plan on the assumption that it will restore Sora access.
If you wanted to build with Sora through an API
OpenAI discontinued the Sora API on September 24, 2026. A ChatGPT subscription and an API integration are separate routes in any case; neither provides access to a discontinued Sora API. Don’t rely on older Sora API examples as instructions for a currently supported Sora service. (help.openai.com)
If you already created Sora videos
OpenAI’s Help Center says users can export Sora content from sora.chatgpt.com/sunset by selecting Export. OpenAI recommends exporting as soon as possible. The Help Center says that if a final export window is offered, users will be notified by email; it does not guarantee that every export will remain available indefinitely. (help.openai.com)
Bottom line: You can’t start using OpenAI Sora through its former web or app experience, and the Sora API is no longer available. For existing Sora content, follow OpenAI’s export instructions.
