Got an ultrawide monitor!
Perspective:
Yeah, if I ever had to share an entire desktop I'd do it from my laptop screen. Another approach is to just buy everyone an ultra wide monitor so they can maximize the screen share window :)
Mike:
With all the troubles that Mac has with multiple external monitors maybe I should get an ultrawide.

What kind of troubles? I've used multiple monitors and even use my iPad as an extra at times.
Mike:
The main issue is that it can't or won't reliably remember the arrangement of multiple monitors. This is exacerbated if you use a dock as both monitors are using the same port on the laptop. It seems to happen mostly if you are using like monitors.
Common occurrence is I'll unplug and when I plug back in the monitors have swapped positions, unplug and plug back in and maybe it'll be back to the original position. Oh, and if you do that too fast the laptop will just crash (gives a nice sound as the fans spin up to highest speed between the time the OS crashes and the power shuts off).
Since I go back and forth between home and office this is like a 3 times a week occurrence. At home I use a dock but at work I use individual adapters but even those mess up if I don't plug them in the correct order.

Gotta tell you... I wouldn't go back now that I have one. It's awesome!
