 **Using the classic editor / classic block:**

 1) Add Media
 2) Insert from URL

 A field appears prefilled with "http://"

 Just like in #46312 this should be changed to "https://" (or even not be
 prefilled at all)

 Some quotes from slack(core-media):

 @adamsilverstein:
  https as the default suggested prefix makes sense to me
 @joyously:
  even better is to match the placeholder to the scheme of the site
 @joedolson:
  If there's going to be a default, I think that https:// makes the most
 sense, but I'm not sure there should be a default at all. Perhaps there
 should be a placeholder that defaults to the site's protocol, but I don't
 think any content should be prefilled.



 **Using Gutenberg:**

 1) Add Video Block
 2) Insert from URL

 A field appears having no prefilled value

 Besides of this there's more to consider:

 **Using the classic editor / classic block:**

 During typing WP already tries to make a connection to the entered URL. In
 case the site uses https, if http is used, the browser (chrome used here)
 throws a warning about mixed content in console and switches automatically
 to https.
 ALSO: If entered a decimal URL a conversion takes place, for example
 http://134744072 will be converted to http://8.8.8.8/
 Whatever will be entered, the console fills up with warnings BUT there
 will be no warning or error visible in the backend. I can enter whatever
 and it will be pasted as Video-URL unchanged.
 So we don't need those connection attempts at all here.

 **Using Gutenberg:**

 In Gutenberg the URL will only be checked after pressing enter.
