    Hi,

    I want to change the follow target of my virtual cam to a different game object via script while game in progress.

    I managed to reference the whateverCinemachineVirtualCamera.Follow = whateverGameobject.transform, but it doesn't seem enough to make it work (reference changed but camera is not following at all).

    What else is needed to make the virtual camera to work? Much appreciated.

    There's an example script in the demo scenes - check here - it has example of how to switch follow objects. Let me know if that's not working for you
