Need help configuring google home tts

I can turn the google home on and adjust the volume but when I type in a message for it to say I just get this error.

Myself and another are seeing this issue - Google home TTS stopped working. I already had tts cached that was working fine. New phrases were getting the same error you are seeing.

Thanks I will watch your thread as well to see if a fix pops up. I just started on this and was sure I did something wrong so I feel better that i am not the only one.

I may have stumbled upon the issue and fix - https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/16749

78.3 update fixes tts for me
