OpenAI's Sora 2 is now available within Microsoft 365 Copilot. Microsoft announced the integration during its Ignite 2025 conference, which runs throughout this week. Sora 2 brings improved video creation capabilities to Microsoft 365. The tool went viral shortly after launch due to the quality of the clips generated.

Sora 2 can make content much more realistic than the previous version of Sora. The tool has earned both praise and criticism, since AI-generated videos are a controversial topic. Sora 2 supports a "cameos" feature that creates the likeness of a person that can then be placed in content.
