Johnpaul Chiwetelu 9806ba807a [fix] Re-encode cloud-subscription video to VP9 for Safari compatibility (#7006) ...

The original video was encoded with AV1 codec which Safari does not
support, causing "Plug-in handled load" errors. Re-encoded to VP9
which is supported across all major browsers including Safari 14.1+.

 Summary

- Re-encode cloud-subscription.webm from AV1 to VP9 codec for Safari
browser compatibility

  Problem

Safari does not support AV1 codec in webm containers, causing the cloud
subscription video to
  fail with "Plug-in handled load" error.

  Solution

Re-encoded the video using VP9 codec (libvpx-vp9) which is supported by
all major browsers
  including Safari 14.1+.

  Test plan

  - Verify video plays correctly in Safari
  - Verify video plays correctly in Chrome/Firefox/Edge
