Now, Sally, one of the engineers wants to share her desktop with the others

its PC, of course). All of them discuss whatever was on her mind, and five
minutes later, she closes application XYZ and the office goes back as it
was before. Fred wants to do the same, and he does. Actually all of them
can.
It seems you want to screencast, something like chromecast I guess, but
interactive sessions. I do not know of any such program. I can think
of two hacks though.
1) You can use your company's video conferencing setup to screen share
with the desktop with the big TV.
2) Just unplug the TV from the desktop and plug your laptop in, and
extend your display. I have a script that will automatically pick the
optimal resolution for the display using xrandr. You can write
something like that yourself (or if you like the idea, I can send my
script).
Hope this helps,
