Gosh, reading that you'd be using bluejeans, then definitively, I will not be able to join the call... :/
If it helps, I've been able to join Bluejeans calls with just Firefox (the version in debian/unstable at least), no proprietary browser extension or separate client needed. It may not be ideal, but it's worked for me in the past anyway.
Thanks again for raising this. Tbh, I was expecting to hear exactly that concern from you, but I couldn't find a "better" solution for now. While I know bluejeans itself is not open source, it's a hosted solution. But it doesn't require you to install any additional software or an "app". It worked with old firefox versions and it does with newer as well. You can also dial in with local numbers, if you don't want or can not use a computer. A real alternative may be big blue button, or senfcall.de; I haven't tested that in world-wide communications so far; my personal experience with jitsi calls from the same area was that it scaled up to a few participants. Currently, I don't know how many people will join the call. On a side note, is anyone aware of a service like "doodle", but without privacy issues? (I was expecting protest about using doodle as well). Matthias
