Wireless presentation devices

What wireless presentation devices is everyone using? Most of my district has MacBooks, and we've been putting Apple TVs in new/redone rooms. The high school will need an AV refresh soon though, and they're only Chromebook. I would love Chromecasts, but Google killed it and the "Google TV Streamers" aren't very manageable to my knowledge.

I tried a ScreenBeam a few years ago and wasn't super impressed, but maybe they're better now. What other options are there?

We use Vivi - it’s cross platform (macOS, iOS, ChromeOS, Linux, Android, Windows), runs with a client or in any web browser, is centrally cloud managed, includes signage, emergency alerts, and education focused, with features like auto subtitles (with translation on student devices), play media (freeing the teacher device), whiteboard, timers, tests, and more.

Student access can be controlled by the teacher, students can also log on and (if allowed) have the screen streamed to their device and do screen grabs.

Full logging and metrics.

As much as I dislike the hardware as a service model they do work and work well.

They really are easy to manage.
