    Is it okay to have a site wherein you stream videos like TV series, movies, trailers, anime and news?

    I'm pretty sure if you're embedding, it's legal as you're not hosting it, but don't mark my words. It's just what I think.

    it is ok as long as it is hosted by other server and not by you. As what you said you'll use embedded codes I think that's ok.

    it's gray zone. Google might be OK with it, but they may ban you.

    In my experience, if you along with streaming vidoes put some other content like:

    If you stream TV shows or embed full episodes it would be smart to write other related posts about the show to not get transparent . If you just but videos, you are not allowed to have Adsense = that's for sure

    its not the streamin you need to worry about but sometimes you might be concerned about the content since you have no control over what they are putting on your site
