It’s New Year’s Eve and the big ball drop in Times Square is just a few hours away. If you find yourself away from a TV when the clock strikes midnight, here are a few ways you can watch the Times Square event on your Android device.The official live stream of the ball drop can be found on the web at timessquareball.net. The site has a live video stream that can be watched through the Chrome browser on your Android smartphone or tablet. The quality is not HD when viewing on a tablet, but you’ll be able to see the last minute countdown and the ball drop just fine.
The live video feed is being streamed through Livestream, which provides you with another viewing option. You can download the Livestream app from the Google Play Store and find the official stream using this URL: new.livestream.com/accounts/43923/events/1780083. The New Year’s Eve event is also front and center in the app when you tap on the search button to find a new live event to watch. To access the content in Livestream, you will have to login or sign up for an account if you don’t already have one. The quality of the stream in the Livestream app is top notch, but it is sometimes laggy. Hopefully, it holds up at midnight when a large number of people try to watch the video feed.
How do you plan on watching the New Year’s Eve ball drop on this last day of 2013?
