1. A system for teaching a surgical procedure, the system comprising:
a display in an operating room;
a processor coupled to the display;
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium coupled to the processor; and
a network adapter coupled to the processor,
wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions therein which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
display, on the display in the operating room, a live video of at least one surgical instrument being used by a surgeon to perform a surgical procedure on a patient in the operating room;
transmit, via the network adapter, a signal to a remote site system outside of the operating room, the signal being configured to cause a display of the remote site system to display
a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a live broadcast video comprising a first video of the surgeon in the operating room performing the surgical procedure on the patient with the at least one surgical instrument and a second video of the surgical instrument during the surgical procedure, and
a plurality of tool icons for annotating at least the second video;
receive, via the network adapter, a signal from the remote site system in response to a user selecting and using a tool icon of the plurality of tool icons; and
display, in response to receipt of the signal from the remote site system, at least one annotation on the live video of the at least one surgical instrument displayed on the display in the operating room.
