You can use the SetScalarParameterValue Node to change the zooming amount (1 is default, 2 mean zoomed 2x)
it also contains a Widget Retainer Material Effect , (a post process effect that works on UI elements)

Technical Documentation
About Multiplayer
The Pack should be multiplayer ready.
Like any post process, if you want to apply the effect only to a given person, you will need to copy the Rendering Features > Post Process Materials > Array in the camera settings of the player
The Zoom factor (in the material collection) is NOT replicated (don’t worry its a good thing), it mean that if you change it on the client side, the zoom will only apply to that client
Limitations
Exposure Metering Mode is set to ‘manual’ on every post process since it was causing problems with some effects, if you find that the lights are “propagating” on your whole screen its probably that the autoexposure is set to Auto Exposure Histogram and need to be switched back to Manual
