Emma Frances Chamberlain (born May 22, 2001) is an American social media personality, YouTuber, podcaster, businesswoman and model.

Chamberlain was born on May 22, 2001, in San Bruno, California.

She is the only child of her parents, who divorced when she was five years old.

Chamberlain subsequently won the award for "Best Podcaster" at the 12th Shorty Awards.

On June 14, 2016, she launched her YouTube channel as a way to find that passion and in August 2023, her YouTube channel reached 12 million subscribers and gained a total of 1.61 billion video views.

Chamberlain's content included cooking videos, fashion hauls, car vlogs, collaborations with fellow Youtubers, among others.

She was known for her penchant with coffee, as well as her authentic self-deprecating humor.

Chamberlain gained notoriety for her niche editing style defined by zooms, adding text to the screen, and pauses.

Her style of editing has gone on to be replicated by many other YouTubers, including Antonio Garza and James Charles.

In recent years, Chamberlain has shifted away from that video style to a simpler, more documentary style of editing.

She won the 2018 Streamy Award for Breakout Creator.

In a 2018 interview with Forbes, Chamberlain said her family had struggled with finances during her childhood.

The family had depended on commissions for her father's art, and when he was ill and unable to paint they endured "hard times".

She attended Central Middle School in San Carlos, California, and Notre Dame High School, Belmont, an all-girl Catholic preparatory school where she was on the cheerleading and track teams.

She performed competitive cheer for five years and was a member of the California All Stars Pink cheer team.

She left high school during the first semester of her junior year and graduated after passing the California High School Exit Exam.

Chamberlain became dissatisfied with high school during the end of her sophomore year, and after speaking to her father she was encouraged to find a passion outside of school.

In June 2018, Chamberlain moved alone from the Bay Area to Los Angeles.

There, she formed the Sister Squad with fellow teen YouTubers James Charles and comedy duo The Dolan Twins.

The four were featured in YouTube Rewind 2018.

In addition to the collaboration videos with the members of the Sister Squad, throughout 2018 Chamberlain and fellow Dote-associated female YouTubers Ellie Thumann and Hannah Meloche posted videos featuring each other on their respective channels, calling their group of three "The Girdies".

In June 2018, Tana Mongeau invited Chamberlain to be a Featured Creator at Tanacon in Anaheim, Mongeau's alternative to VidCon that took place at the same time at a nearby convention center.

Chamberlain's one-on-one onstage interview with Mongeau was the last event before the convention was canceled due to overcrowding and security concerns.

In July, Chamberlain was signed by United Talent Agency.

In 2019, Time magazine included her on its Time 100 Next list, and its list of The 25 Most Influential People On The Internet, writing that "Chamberlain pioneered an approach to vlogging that shook up YouTube's unofficial style guide."

In April 2019, she launched her first weekly podcast series, Anything Goes, formerly known as Stupid Genius.

She also has been an ambassador for Louis Vuitton since 2019 and Cartier since 2022.

The Sister Squad was nominated for a 2019 YouTube Ensemble Shorty Award.

At VidCon 2019, Snapchat announced that Chamberlain would be one of several celebrities from various entertainment platforms to premiere a Creator Show later in the year.

At the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, Chamberlain won the award for Choice Female Web Star.

During the September New York Fashion Week, Chamberlain hosted the Teen Vogue event Generation Next attended by Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour.

At the 2019 Streamy Awards, Chamberlain was nominated for Creator of the Year, Editing, and First Person.

She appeared in a series of videos on the Target YouTube channel, being paired with The Office star Angela Kinsey and Fashion Police host Brad Goreski.

Her Snapchat Creator Show, Adulting With Emma Chamberlain, premiered on November 4.

On November 13, Time magazine included her on its Time 100 Next list, and its list of the 25 most influential people on the internet, writing that "Chamberlain pioneered an approach to vlogging that shook up YouTube's unofficial style guide."
