bluejeans video installs a nasty daemon that runs at boot too. I'll never attend a bluejeans meeting again

Not if you just use it through the browser, which is more stable than their app.

Anyone know what port the Bluejeans server is running on and/or how to kill it in a manner similar to the Zoom workaround?

    BlueJeans 423 [...] TCP localhost:18171 (LISTEN)

    $ nc 127.0.0.1 18171
    GET / HTTP/1.0

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Content-Length: 23
    Server: Swifter 1.3.3

    BlueJeansHelper Service

Removing the BlueJeans from your machine is a little more involved because they actually used launchd.

launchctl list

Then you need to find where the plist files are (i.e. com.bluejeans.app.detector.plist).

You can disable an entry from launchctl list:

launchctl disable uid/<your user uid>/com.bluejeans.app.detector

You can also unload if you find the actual file

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bluejeans.app.detector.plist

There were a couple differently named bluejeans agents.

Wow didn't know that. I rarely use bluejeans but I guess i will uninstall it anyway.
