In sora 2, do cameo handles automatically register or do i have to manually clean it up? like:
[prompt] @someone [prompt]
If i copy the prompt with the handle it doesn't have an indicator that it's been registered.

Hi @sand spear. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The knowledge sources don’t explicitly say how handles in the text prompt (like @someone inside [prompt]) are parsed or “registered” in Sora 2, so I can’t confirm that copying a prompt with an @handle will automatically attach that character.
What is documented is:
- To use a character in a video, you “search for and tag the character by its display name (or type
@handle) where you want it to appear” in the Sora editor, and videos support a maximum of two characters. [Use a character] - Characters have their own permissions and can be tagged and reused in future generations, but the docs don’t describe any separate “registration” UI state tied to the raw text of the prompt. [Sora release notes; Generating content with characters]
Because there’s no mention of a visible “registered” indicator for copied @handles in prompts, and no detail on whether you need to “clean up” unused handles, I’m not able to say for sure how your specific case is handled under the hood.
If you’re not seeing the usual character indicator after pasting a prompt with @someone, the safest approach (based on the docs) is:
- Use the Sora editor’s character search/tag UI to re‑tag the character rather than relying on a pasted
@handlealone. - Then check that the character appears in the tagged-characters area / limit (up to two characters), not just as plain text in the prompt.
