    Dear respected Aallen1,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    As per your description, it seems that you want to create a discussion board on you SharePoint site to allow colleagues in organization/company an opportunity to post and respond conversations workplace. 

    In your SharePoint site, based on my test there is two way.

    One there is built- in Discussion Board app (list), you may try adding the Discussion Board app via go to site content> click on setting>Add an app to the site can join the discussion.

    And the other using Yammer Conversations web part.

    You can add Yammer Conversations web part in your SharePoint modern page, please follow the step:

    1.Access your SharePoint online site page.

    2.Edit page and add Yammer Conversations web part

    Hi Waquas,

    Can you confirm which version of SharePoint Online has Discussion Boards please?

    I'm using SharePoint Online Modern and need this app or an equivalent, but ideally my firm do not wish to use Yammer/Viva.

    Thanks

    Jay
