Default Zoom on Maps

I'm a player in multiple games run by multiple GMs. When I enter a game room, the maps are always zoomed in to 170% or so. This happens regardless of browser (Firefox, Brave or Chrome) and there does not appear to be a default set in My Account . I'm really tired of having to reset it constantly - help?
I'm afraid there's no way for a player to control the zoom level when entering a screen on the VTT. There are tricks that a GM can do to preset a page zoom level, but they have to be set per-page. Your GM can also set the game to automatically center pages on player-controlled tokens, or you can manually center the view on a token that you control by left-clicking the "target reticle" icon at the bottom of the zoom slider:

Thanks, Rick. Not sure why it defaults to 170% though.

Hi Fyndhal,  The reason is that "Center player cameras on their controlled token(s) on page switch" is turned on. Ask your GM to turn it off. 
Odd. In all the games that I'm in or running it always defaults to 100% zoom unless the GM does the trick with hidden tokens + the setting that Gauss mentioned. Fyndhal said: Thanks, Rick. Not sure why it defaults to 170% though.
