Here are three practical methods commonly used to quickly obtain an invite code:
Method One: Using Google Advanced Search Within the Last 24 Hours
-
Open Google and go to Google Advanced Search.
-
In the text field, enter queries such as:
or
-
Set the time range to Past 24 hours. This filters out older noise and shows only recently published results.
-
Browse the results: you may find blog posts, forums, or articles that contain invite codes, links, or screenshots.
-
Test the codes immediately, since many expire quickly or may have already been used.
Note: This method can sometimes work, but it is not 100% guaranteed. Codes may only be published for a short time or inside closed communities.
Method Two: Searching on X (formerly Twitter) in Posts and Comments
-
Go to X (Twitter) and use the Search option.
-
Search for terms such as:
-
Sora invite code
-
Sora 2 code
-
Sora invite
-
Sora 2 invite code people share
-
-
Sort results by Latest, Most replies, or Trending discussions.
-
Open tweets and check the Replies section. Many users share codes directly in the comments.
-
Test the codes as soon as you find them.
Note: Often, invite codes appear in trending tweets or within conversations among enthusiastic users. But always remember: codes can be used up very quickly or revoked.
Method Three: Using an OpenAI / Sora Discord Server
This method is often more effective if you can access Discord communities linked to OpenAI or Sora. Steps:
-
In Google or on tech websites, search for “OpenAI Discord” or “Sora Discord invite.”
-
Join the Discord server associated with OpenAI or Sora (if available).
-
If you don’t have a Discord account, create one first.
-
Inside the server, look for channels named
#invites
,#sora-invites
,#general
, or channels specifically for invite sharing. -
Monitor conversations and comments in real time. Members may drop invite codes at any moment.
-
Once someone posts a code, copy it quickly and test it in the app before it’s fully claimed.
This method is often among the most effective because Discord communities tend to be fast-moving and responsive.
Important Note on VPN Use
If you are outside the United States or Canada, you may need to use a US-based (or Canadian) VPN when registering for Sora, because the initial release is restricted to those regions.

A VPN can help bypass regional restrictions during the registration or invite request process.
