BlueJeans is "open source" though I can't offhand find their source code by googling for "bluejeans source". ;)
It's being used mostly for larger meetings because a) it has a larger limit for number of participants than Google Hangout and b) it seems to be more open than Google Hangout.
When you join you're prompted to either use your computer or use a phone connection; if you choose computer, you then are given the chance to enable or disable the camera and mic before the connection actually starts.
Can't answer on if anybody's paying anything as I don't know, but personally I would hope we are helping to fund their open source development. ;)

We will be holding this brownbag in 25 minutes. The Bluejeans link has changed:
I'm not familiar with bluejeans and maybe have missed a transition because I wasn't paying enough attention. is this some kind of experiment? have all meetings transitioned to this service?
anyway, my immediate question at the moment is how do you join without sharing your microphone and camera?
am I correct thinking that this is an entirely proprietary stack that's neither gratis nor libre and has no on-premise (not cloud) hosting option? are we paying for this?
