At the reading we took on 2026-09-05 at 11:18 UTC, the official ZEvent counter showed 4 348 968 €. That is Saturday midday, roughly eighteen hours into a marathon that runs past fifty. If you are here for the clipping angle rather than the live chat, this is the StreamClipping day 2 report: what the counter says, what the personal pots tell you about the challenges coming down the pipe, and what any of it is worth to someone who edits short video for a living. The full programme, the ten year history of the charity totals and the method are in our ZEvent 2026 hub, and yesterday's piece covered the kickoff.
Where the counter stands
The official API, read at 11:18 UTC on Saturday, gives four numbers worth writing down.
- 4 348 968 € collected.
- 524513 cumulative viewers across participating channels.
- 338 registered streamers, 174 of them live at that exact moment.
- Site status: online, counter running.
One honest caveat before you screenshot anything. This is the first reading in our series, so we have nothing from yesterday to compare against, and we are not going to invent a growth curve. We also do not have a verified figure for the same hour in 2025, so no "ahead of last year" claim here either. What we do know is the target: 16 179 096 € in 2025, in under 60 hours, with 327 streamers, which stands as the world record for an online charity marathon. This tenth and final edition benefits the 22 associations the event has supported since 2016.
Small detail with real consequences if you browse Twitch by category: at the time of the reading, 524431 of those viewers sit under the ZEVENT category itself. The next entry on the list is Skyrim Special Edition with 82. Browsing the directory will not help you find anything. The event is one single blob.

The personal pot race is the real story of day 2
For readers who do not follow French streaming: every participant runs their own pot inside the global total, and the leaderboard between those pots is a competition in its own right, with its own trash talk and its own history. Domingo has topped it for the last three years. This year Mastu said publicly, before the event, that he intended to take the crown.
At 11:18 UTC, Mastu is doing exactly that. 466 552 € for him, 425 142 € for mistermv, 412 092 € for Domingo. Behind them, Anyme023 at 211 093 €, the ZEVENT channel at 177 733 €, ZeratoR at 162 340 €, AntoineDaniel at 150 483 €, amixem at 101 881 €.
Those numbers are not just a scoreboard. They are a schedule. Here is why.
The goal ladders, read through the counter
Each streamer published a ladder of donation goals in the days before the marathon, most of them on 1 to 3 September. A threshold on the personal pot unlocks a challenge. Some are two minute bits, some are commitments that eat the next six months.
Domingo's ladder, posted on 3 September, runs from an IRL tour of the venue at 10 000 € up through a night of treadmill climbing for ClemOuiCourt at 150 000 €, a one versus one against Mastu at 200 000 €, and another format at 300 000 €. His pot is at 412 092 €. Do the arithmetic yourself: the thresholds are behind him, not ahead.
Same reading for Anyme023. His headline goal, announced ahead of the event, sits at 200 000 € on his personal pot: a stream from space. He is at 211 093 €. Nico had announced a challenge at the same threshold, a Dakar to Paris trip with no plane in 30 days, and we do not have his pot in this reading, so we are not going to guess.
We are being deliberately careful with the verb here. The counter tells you a threshold has been crossed. It does not tell you the challenge already happened on air, and we did not watch every one of the 174 live channels. If you want the moment itself, go to the channel, not to this article.

One more thing about the shape of this edition. ZeratoR described the setup to French outlets as around forty shows spread across three stages, with about ten rooms rented out, including a jacuzzi, a wrestling ring and a ball pit. He also said he does not know everything that is planned. That is the honest description of a 50 hour hybrid marathon: nobody has the full map, including the guy who built it.
What day 2 teaches you as a clipper
A published goal ladder is a content calendar somebody else wrote for you. You do not need to watch 174 channels. You need to know which pots are approaching which thresholds. When a pot sits 5 000 € under a big number, something is about to happen on that channel. That is the closest thing to a scheduled viral moment that live streaming produces.
The hard part is not finding the moment, it is finding it in your own VOD. The line we keep repeating all week does not move: you never repost the official feed. The footage belongs to ZEvent and its broadcasters, and the opening concert stacks music rights on top of that. What you own is your watch party, your face, your reaction, your take. Record it, then run the VOD through multi modal detection so audio, vision and transcript are read together, and export in 9:16 for shorts or 16:9 for YouTube. Our guide on spotting the strong moment in a VOD and the one on pulling 30 clips out of a single live both apply directly to a weekend like this one.
Charity context changes the tone, not the craft. The hook still has to land in three seconds, the title still does most of the work, and posting at 4am into an empty feed still wastes a good clip. See writing a title that hooks and when to post. What changes is the register. This is a fundraiser for 22 associations. Commentary, hype and genuine surprise all work. Farming outrage on top of a charity event does not, and your audience will notice faster than you think.

What is left to watch today
Saturday is the long day. The marathon started Friday at 18:00 and runs until the night of Sunday into Monday, which means everything between now and tomorrow evening is the fat middle of the event: the night blocks, the stage formats, the challenges unlocked overnight that get replayed all afternoon.
Three things we will be checking for tomorrow's day 3 piece:
- Whether the top pots keep the same order, or whether Domingo takes the lead back from Mastu.
- Which announced thresholds actually get executed on air rather than just crossed on the counter.
- Where the global total sits against the pace needed for the 2025 record of 16 179 096 €.
If you are clipping this weekend, set your own recording now and worry about the edit on Monday. The VOD will still be there. The attention will not.

In short
At 11:18 UTC on Saturday 5 September, the last ZEvent has collected 4 348 968 €, with 524513 cumulative viewers, 338 registered streamers and 174 live. Mastu leads the personal pots at 466 552 €, ahead of mistermv and Domingo, and several announced goal thresholds have been crossed on the counter. The record to beat is 16 179 096 €. And the clipping rule stays where it has always been: your watch party, your voice, your footage, never the official feed.
