Stream video directly from T4i via mini-HDMI out to USB in?

Hi all. I'm wondering if I can use a T4i to stream video to the USB port on my computer (which would essentially allow it to act as a webcam and could thus be used with Google Hangouts, etc.). Is this even possible?

In my mind, I would go from mini-HDMI to HDMI to USB. In lots of searching I haven't been able to find evidence of someone doing it, but am also enough of a beginner to not know if it's not actually possible and that it can only be used to plug into a display.

Any thoughts? Thanks all.
