Blizzard just announced on Facebook and their website that the first beta keys will be issued soon.

We are preparing to invite testers for the Heart of the Swarm beta very soon! To be clear, this test will be for the multiplayer experience only. We will begin with a select group, including many players who assisted us in testing Patch 1.5, as well as some pro-gamers and press. Over time, we will add more and more testers into the mix.
If you are interested in participating in the beta test, please make sure you are opted in for beta testing. You can do this by clicking "Beta Profile Settings" under the Account Management section of your Battle.net account. Note that the opt-in doesn't guarantee entry, but gives you a chance at joining the beta test. Also, we'll be working with your favorite fansites and community personalities to give away more entries to the beta test, so keep an eye out for invites coming from the greater StarCraft community over the coming weeks.
We can’t wait to get the public test started for Heart of the Swarm, and we look forward to collecting your feedback.
The Swarm is coming!

So still no word on streams or NDA status?
Would prefer to see those units in practice.

Beta has not started and servers are not up, people are making the videos with the map editor, and can only play vs AI, so no streams. Blizz said that the Beta won't be under NDA once it starts, so I expect people to stream it then.

edit: also can you disable the autocast on the mines to trigger them manually? since they deal mostly single target damage it would be so much better if we could control them manually to blow up on big units and not Zealots/lings.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal

They just had to say "very soon" instead of something specific, as always.

I hope they give betas to people that a) actively play and b) play a lot

would be a shame to start handing them out to everyone and anyone who has a battle.net account.
I don't have time to play with myself

or giving them to people who ONLY played the 1.5 beta for customs... as a majority of the people who tested the 1.5 beta were people who are only interested in sc2 for customs. its frustrating to know that not everyone that gets a beta invite will be playing it seriously. Hopefully they only listen to balance concerns from higher level players and pros.
ok

you have to actually opt in to the beta through the site so there not going to just pick random Bnet accounts out of a hat

or giving them to people who ONLY played the 1.5 beta for customs... as a majority of the people who tested the 1.5 beta were people who are only interested in sc2 for customs. its frustrating to know that not everyone that gets a beta invite will be playing it seriously.

completely incorrect, there also going to be inviting a bunch of people who opted in, probably give each of those people a bring a friend pass and start inviting more people in waves plus hold contests for more keys

if WoL is any indicator blizzard believes the more people in the Beta the better
