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,
