How to change google mymaps iframe embed zoom?

I've got an embedded google mymaps. It seems the zoom parameter doesn't work at all. I cannot find any useful information on google documentation.

Mymaps seem not to follow the standard iframe maps api.

EDIT:

Following Matej's accepted answer, I found a couple of useful links:

What parameters should I use in a Google Maps URL to go to a lat-lon?

And then modified my embed code like this, so I could add zooming (through 'z' param) and centering (through 'll' param):

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1gatxEY51NXkSRl461HgAxmk2bwI&z=5&ll=43.7695600,11.2558140" width="640" height="480"></iframe>

And by the way: I usually like to find my lat/lng position with this site:

Try add z=nn parameter to the url where nn is the zoom level.

This works for me:
