 ## Chat Room
 
-Want to chat with other members of the PowerShell community?
+[GitHub Discussions](https://docs.github.com/discussions/quickstart) is a feature to enable fluid and open discussions within the community
+for topics that are not related to code, unlike issues.
+
+This is an experiment we are trying in our repositories to see if it helps move discussions out of issues so that issues remain actionable by the team or members of the community.
+There should be no expectation that PowerShell team members are regular participants in the discussions.
+Individual PowerShell team members may choose to participate in discussions, but the expectation is that community members help drive discussions so that team members
+can focus on issues.
+
+Create or join a [discussion](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/discussions).
 
 We have a Gitter Room which you can join below.
