This is already bearing fruit: current Windows Insider
builds of MS Edge
include support for VP9 video in WebM container via MSE playback (Media
Source Extensions).
I've confirmed this works with one of our random VP9 uploads:

Once Opus audio support is added as well (and/or I figure out a way to
separately decode the audio via ogv.js and keep them still in sync!) we can
look into native WebM VP9 playback on MS Edge, and it'll add some more
urgency to getting VP9 transcodes done. Awesome!
Tracked on:
