Android Moto G7 HDMI output to non-smart TV?

[Lightyose]

So, recently, I bought a USB-C to HDMI(it also has USB 3.0 and USB-C female ports) adapter. The thing is, when I connect it the HDMI to it, it does not show up on TV...

Would like to know if there is anything I could do? It would be even better if it doesn't require root.

I tried to find ways to make it work, but nothing really straightforward for me...

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't support output to the TV directly, you need to cast it to a Chromecast

Is that really the only way? I am running away from Chromecast... Really, almost everything I see are Chromecast solutions.

Is it because of Software limitations, or Hardware? Or both?

The phone has no output via usb c port to hdmi, so you are stuck with casting it to a screen.

Hmm... Okay, I guess. I have a (Chromecast?) Somewhere, but I never managed to make it work.
