How to Use Seedance 2.0 Online: No VPN, No Chinese Phone Number (2026)

Most tutorials for Seedance 2.0 tell you to register on Jimeng (即梦), navigate a Chinese-language interface, verify with a Chinese phone number, and sometimes use a VPN. That was the only way in 2024.

In 2026, it's no longer necessary. SeedanceVideo.app provides direct access to Seedance 2.0 — plus Sora 2 and Veo 3.1 — through a single English-language interface with global availability.

Step-by-Step: Generate Your First Video

1. 1

   Go to SeedanceVideo.app and sign up

   Visit the homepage and click Get Started. You can sign up instantly with your Google account, GitHub account, or email. No phone verification, no CAPTCHA wall, no Chinese app download.

2. 2

   Enter the Studio

   After signing in, you land in the Studio — the generation workspace. You'll see input options for text prompts, image uploads, video clips, and audio files. Select Seedance 2.0 as your model from the model selector.

3. 3

   Write a prompt or upload a reference image

   Type a description of the video you want, or upload a reference image. For example: "A golden retriever running through a field of sunflowers, cinematic slow motion, warm afternoon light." You can also combine text + image for more control.

4. 4

   Set resolution and duration, then generate

   Choose your output resolution (up to 1080p on paid plans, 720p on free trial) and duration (4–12 seconds). Click Generate. Your video will be ready in 30–120 seconds depending on the settings.

5. 5

   Download or iterate

   Preview the result, download in MP4, or refine your prompt and regenerate. Each generation uses credits — your free trial includes one complimentary generation so you can test the quality before committing.
