Casting Lenovo Chromebook and or my Motorola G power cell to my 50" Samsung smart tv

Hey anyone & everyone, I'll try to write this as simple and short as possible (not including that introduction). So starting.....Now! Okay, I would just like to figure out how I can use my Smart TV which is a Samsung and my cell phone which is a g power for Motorola. I have a "Lenovo G5 Fire Chromebook" which unfortunately does not have an HDMI port like my old laptop did so I can't plug my HDMI cord into my smart TV and I actually want to know if it is possible or not for me to cast my cell phone and or Chromebook to my smart tv. It's very strange because I can cast from my tablet which doesn't have Chromecast and use my TV for the tablet screen display. So, what do I need to get or do in order for me to have my Lenovo Chromebook cast to my Samsung 50" smart tv w/o using any cords and instead use my wifi from Xfinity which is connected to both devices. I have a small space and can't fit a desk so it will change my work experience exponentially being able to sit on my couch with my wireless keyboard and mouse and have my screen display on the TV. Keep in mind that I am not an idiot and can understand how computers and Chromebooks and smart phones work. It's only this ONE issue that has me at a standstill. I know literally nothing about Chromecast and had no idea that it isn't an app (I think 🤔) and can actually purchase a circular looking device with Chromecast on it and plug it into my TV and then it will work....I think? I just need a more tech savvy person to help me out with this issue I am having. Thank you for your time and sorry for my long question when I started off by saying I will try and make this as short and to the point as possible. I have ADD.

Check your TV's settings and or support information online as it may already have Chromecast built-in. If not, it sounds like you're looking for a Chromecast device. Either built-into your TV or Chromecast, this allows you to cast from supported apps on your phone and cast a tab in Chrome from your Chromebook.
