Why/How does Richard Stallman use Jitsi?

I saw on an interview that Richard Stallman uses "Jitsi" for a lot of calls. I can not find a way to use Jitsi without using non-free JavaScript, does anyone know if there is a way? Or does Richard Stallman just make an exception with Jitsi for online interviews? I like the app, but I am surprised RS uses it at all, being it seems like the most "non-free" libre calling app that exists (as it uses non-free JS, WebRTC etc,..).
Jami has been my go-to, but if there is a way to use jitsi with apps like LibreJS, or with just free-software, it would be really nice.
Thanks.

Simple: You don't do it in a web browser but with the "app" running on your computer. As it should be. :)
> non-free JavaScript
Do you say, meetjitsi requires non free software to work?

Jitsi Meet is a free/libre web program. The JavaScript it sends is
free/libre.
Sadly, it does not work as well as it used to.

Then what james is writing is wrong.
Yeah I am speaking of MeetJitsi on the web browser, I was under the impression the app ran on the browser and used google scripts. The meet jitsi (not the app) does not work with LibreJS, and uses external and non-free scripts for sure, but I will give the app a try again. Thanks.

"Google scripts" is vague. Google hosts a lot of free/libre JS
libraries. Last time I checked, the necessary scripts were hostings of
free programs.
Theoretically, one could self-host things like jQuery in the browser,
and forgo Google's (possibly technically-proprietary) copies.
