Live streaming starts on Wednesday at 9:00 am PT with the keynote, and will continue throughout the day with up to five simultaneous live streams of key technical sessions as well as “exclusive interviews, product unboxings, and demos from the I/O floor,” as the I/O site puts it.

Unfortunately, quite a few of these games are once again going to unfold when many of us have to work at the office. Fortunately, you won’t have to miss a thing, thanks to live streams of each and every game — if you’re a cable subscriber, that is.

For the first time, March Madness is going to require authentication for any game that’s shown on cable. This means that you’ll have to log in with your cable TV subscription account if the game you want to watch is airing on TBS, TNT or truTV. Games that are available on CBS will still be available without logging in.

Confused? Can’t find your cable subscription details in time before the action starts? No worries: The NCAA’s website and apps are going to offer everyone a four hour grace period in which you can start watching without bothering about logging in.

Here’s where you can start watching on your PC, iPad, iPhone or Android mobile device:

• The NCAA’s website streams each and every game live, no matter whether it airs on cable or CBS.
• The NCAA’s iOS app, now available on iTunes, offers live streaming for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
• The NCAA also promises to have an Android app for devices with Android 4.0 and up available in time, but it wasn’t on Google Play at the time of writing. Check the NCAA’s website for the latest links for your device.

We will update this article with additional links and resources throughout the tournament, so make sure to check back regularly.
