VP9 gpu / HW decode is not working for youtube videos

[purezen]

Playing youtube videos using VP9 codec are not utilizing HW decoding causing high CPU usage and battery drain

My system spectre x360 13 - ae502tu uses intel i5 8250U processor which has UHD 620 graphics and it officially supports VP9 decode via hardware.

Please help.
