Airtame, First Take Enterprise-cla.ss wireless screen mirroring.
There are dozens of options for sending your computer screen to another display, but most of them are either tied to and optimised for a particular ecosystem (Apple, Chrome or Miracast devices, for example), or they involve spending the first few minutes of a meeting fiddling with cables, apps and projection settings. The Airtame HDMI stick is different: it promises to work with Windows, Mac, Ubuntu Linux, Chromebook, iOS and Android, and any screen (or projector) that has an HDMI port. It's also aimed firmly at business and education users, rather than consumers wanting to stream video.

The Airtime is small but wide (there's a small Linux PC inside), so you may need the extender to plug it in.

The Airtame 'stick' is small but wide -- too wide to fit directly into the three-port HDMI switch connected to the Samsung monitor in our office meeting room (which already has an Xbox One and an Xbox 360 plugged in), but there's a short HDMI extender in the box. If you're concerned about securing the Airtame physically, as it doesn't have any way to attach it securely, you could substitute a longer extender cable and conceal it inside furniture.

You also need a USB port that has enough power (at least 1 amp) to run the Airtame via its Micro-USB connector; the USB ports on our Samsung screen didn't put out enough power, but our Xbox One's USB port does. Alternatively you could use the supplied AC adapter.
