OpenAI has brought its AI video app, Sora, to Android. The app, which lets you create, share, and remix AI-generated videos, is now available on the Google Play Store in the US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, according to an announcement on Tuesday.

OpenAI launched Sora on iOS in September, with the app accumulating more than 1 million downloads in the five days following its launch. In addition to presenting you with a TikTok-like feed of AI-generated videos, Sora also lets you create AI content starring yourself or your friends with its “cameo” feature. Over the past several weeks, the app has faced criticism over its approach to deepfakes and copyright protections, resulting in a reversal of its opt-out policy for rightsholders.

OpenAI has also introduced the ability to create “character cameos” with reusable avatars, and eventually plans to give rightsholders the ability to “charge extra for cameos of beloved characters and people.”
