Is it http or https?

At 1:30, she talks about http yet the url on my browser is https. Maybe just a typo

The example shown in the video is http. But your connection to the video may indeed be https.

To further add to that https generally indicates that you’re connecting securely, or at least attempting to. Most browsers these days will actively alert you when you’re accessing a site that is either unsecured or is secure, but suspicious.
