We've just started using Microsoft Azure, and trying to investigate is it possible to - upload video and convert it to web format automatically.
Maybe someone has already did it and has some experience.

Have a look at Azure Media Services.
You can encode to adaptive multi-bitrate MP4 with dynamic packaging on top (think MPEG-DASH, HLS, Smooth Streaming).
Encoding via the Azure Portal:

REST API:

For an event-based approach look at Azure Functions with a Blob Trigger. As soon as there's a new source file to be encoded you can kick off a job.
