WebM (.webm) is a video file format developed by 
Google. It is subset of the Matroska container format developed by Xiph, and incorporates VP8 encoding technology by On2. WebM was usually intended to be used on webpages to save bandwidth, but it's also have some benefits when it's comes to video games and many other applications.
The biggest benefit of WebM over Bink (or AVI) is that of file size; a WebM video will be significantly smaller than that of a similar-quality Bink file. For example, the installation size of 
Hunt Down the Freeman decreased by 5.7 GB when switching its FMV cutscenes from Bink to WebM[1].
WebM is supported in the following games, engines, and engine branches:
Source 2
Strata Source
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (since 2018 Panorama update)- Hunt Down the Freeman

Bink video is replaced with webm (like CSGO and Source 2) and has successfully freed up 5.7GB of space
