Abstract
Recording surgical video is not new in medicine. But not many surgical residency programs in India have this facility. The coronavirus disease (COVID) pandemic made us search for new ways to progress ahead in our surgical careers. We present a way to record surgical videos and live stream them to a select audience comprising surgical residents and faculty, wherever they may be. This may become a standard of teaching once adopted by all top surgical residency programs across the country.

Ethics declarations
Ethical approval
Ethics committee approval was taken for the video recording of the surgery.
Consent to participate
Informed consent from the patient was taken in the patient’s native language for allowing video recording of the procedure and live streaming of the content to the residents. If the patient is younger than 18 years, consent was taken from the patient’s parent. It was made sure that patient details were not divulged during the video recording to protect patient privacy. To protect the data, a faculty was given the responsibility of handling the YouTube account used to live stream the surgery. Only the CVTS residents and faculty had access to the live stream link, and selecting the privacy option in YouTube as “private” avoids the link getting shared beyond the target audience.
