Convert video to web format with Microsoft Azure

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:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/media-services-portal-encode

.NET SDK:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/media-services-dotnet-encode-with-media-encoder-standard

REST API:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/media-services-rest-encode-asset

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.
