For a WebEx-like environment check out BigBlueButton (not easy to 
install though). Or use Gtalk which supports video and does not require 
you to host a server.

Hosting a teleconference (not sure about support for video) is supported 
by FreeSWITCH (for small to large environments) and Asterisk (would not 
bet the farm on this for large environments).
