We’re halfway through baseball season — you know what that means! The Major League Baseball All-Star Game takes place today, July 12, 2016, at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

The MLB All-Star Game pits players from American League teams against players from National League teams (players are chosen by fans, managers and other players), and the winning team gets home field advantage in the upcoming World Series. You can check out this year’s rosters here.

The game begins at 5 p.m. PDT (8 p.m. EDT) on Fox, and pregame coverage starts at 4 p.m. PDT (7 p.m. EDT) on FS1 (and moves to Fox at 4:30 p.m. PDT/7:30 p.m. EDT). Here’s how you can watch the game on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone — even if you don’t currently have a cable subscription.

If you have cable…

  • And your cable or satellite subscription includes Fox, you can watch the game for free on FoxSportsGo. You will need to sign into FoxSportsGo with the login information from your TV provider. You can also watch the game on FoxSportsGo’s Android app, iOS app or Windows app.

If you do not have cable…

  • You can sign up for Sling TV’s Sling Blue package, which costs $25/month and includes 40+ channels (including Fox). Sling TV offers a free 7-day trial to new users, so you can technically just sign up for the All-Star game and cancel your subscription before the trial period is up for a free livestreaming experience.
  • To watch the game on Sling TV, you will need to download the correct Sling TV app — there’s a desktop app (Windows and OS X), as well as apps for Android, iOS, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, and Xbox One.

On Tuesday, GoPro and Periscope announced an update to the Periscope app would allow users to stream from a GoPro action camera as well as the iPhone’s camera.

The potential for streaming from a smaller camera intended to be used in extreme situations is limitless. And that’s pretty exciting.

To use the new feature, you’ll need to own a Hero 4 Silver or Hero 4 Black and an iPhone.

  • To begin a GoPro live-stream using Periscope, start by turning on your camera, setting it to video mode, and enabling Wi-Fi.
  • Connect your iPhone to the camera’s Wi-Fi network, then launch the Periscope app.
  • Next, tap on the broadcast button along the bottom of the screen. A new GoPro-inspired icon will be present; tap on it to use the camera’s stream.
  • Give your Periscope a name, set your privacy options, and begin streaming as you normally would.

Once the streaming begins, you can switch between the iPhone’s camera and the GoPro with a double-tap on the screen. Alternatively, a new lock button at the top of the screen makes it possible to put your iPhone in your pocket without fear of ending the stream. Your GoPro will save a video of the stream to the microSD card, which you can then post to YouTube or share through your preferred social channels after the fact.

One other important thing to note: Since your iPhone is connected to the GoPro’s Wi-Fi network, your stream will be broadcast over a cellular connection. Meaning, be aware of how long you’re streaming and the amount of data it’s going to use if you’re not on an unlimited data plan.
