Using motherboard HDMI as passthrough

Hi, I was just watching a stream on twitch on my media computer witch is hooked up to a TV through VGA. The thing is that the computer is old and can't handel streams realy well, and some streamingservices does not support Linux (I use lubuntu). So my thought was to plug in a chromecast to the hdmi port on the computer, then pass that along and out the VGA port to the TV. 

 

Reason why I can't plug the chromecast straight into the TV is that the hdmi ports are broken and don't work. 

 

I thought there might be some way to do this. The computer is an old HP Compaq presario cq62, and running lubuntu as said. Thankful for all responses.

Your computer has a HDMI output. Connector might be the same but HDMI is directional.
