when sora will get access to generate videos with REAL people

Hi @thin stone. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

OpenAI’s current policies and product docs say that Sora does not support generating or editing videos of real people (including public figures), except through the tightly controlled “personal character” feature where an individual explicitly records and consents to their own likeness being used. [Creating videos; Characters FAQ]

For Sora 2 via the API, the guardrails explicitly state:

• “Real people—including public figures—cannot be generated.”
• “Input images with faces of humans are currently rejected.” [Video generation guide]

The knowledge sources do not mention any timeline or plans for changing this restriction. I’m sorry, but there’s no information about if or when Sora will allow general video generation with real people beyond the existing, consent-based character flow.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
