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. ;)

The Bluejeans link has
changed:
https://bluejeans.com/396234560
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?
