Is there any way to turn a PC into a Chromecast receiver?

I have an Intel Compute Stick, which is a Stick PC running Windows 10 which plugs into your TV via HDMI. My question is, is there any way to turn it into a Chromecast receiver, i.e. make it so that my iPhone thinks the PC is a Chromecast, so I can cast content from various apps onto the PC?

Note that I'm already aware of DLNA streaming, but I want the convenience of using any app I want that supports Google Cast.

I don't think what you want/need is Chromecast, but Chrome can cast instances of itself to another PC, possibly supporting iOS. Check for add-ons. Otherwise, you can use VNC (or other RDP) from your iPhone to theoretically see the PC screen. Now, you are casting a large screen to a small one, so keep that in mind, it will be hard to use, but for watching a movie, might work alright - maybe.
