Why is our published Outlook calendar showing as 1899 in our website

Our outlook calendar looks fine in outlook but the shared link (html) that we use on our website is showing the calendar as 1899. We have not made any changes to our website so can only assume Microsoft has made some kind of update that has caused this?. How do we rectify or get Microsoft to resolve the issue?

If you click on Today then that takes you to the view that users should be seeing but obviously our users will not know to do that (and why should they)

Just to add to this, if you copy the shared html link from outlook and paste into the browser, the issue is replicated without going via our website so the issue looks likely to be a Microsoft Outlook one?

    I also have this issue.

    My work-issued PC recently updated to Windows 11, and the functionality of the calendar was only called into question after the "upgrade" nullified the 2016 Outlook desktop app. This issue is also interferring with SmartSheet connectivity as that calendar is also showing December 1899.

    As a temporary measure we added a JavaScript that reloads the Iframe after 3 seconds and most browsers load the current date then. It requires that your Iframe have an ID attribute.

    [removed_js] { const iframe = document.getElementById('yourIframeId'); // Replace 'yourIframeId' if (iframe) { iframe.src = iframe.src; }}, 3000);

    We should all just switch to using Google calendars... if only that didn't require shifting the platform that our whole organization uses.
