The Virtual Visit service run by the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN has been active since 2010. The ATLAS Collaboration has used this popular and effective method to bring the excitement of scientific exploration and discovery into classrooms and other public places around the world. The program, which uses a combination of video conferencing, webcasts, and video recording to communicate with remote audiences, has already reached tens of thousands of viewers, in a large number of languages, from tens of countries across all continents. We present a summary of the ATLAS Virtual Visit service that is currently in use and present a new system that is being installed in the ATLAS Visitor Centre. In addition, we show the reach of the program over the last few years.
