I assume it's the same as for a local images, except the filename for the image is a URI display local images with SPC m T i to org-toggle-inline-images

[[]] [[ #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (setq org-display-remote-inline-images 'download) (org-toggle-inline-images) (org-mode) #+END_SRC

Play around with the different toggles, and make sure org-display-remote-inline-images is set to 'download or 'cached. You should at least be seeing the local image, cause that does seem to work.

The org-display-remote-inline-images variable is in Spacemacs (I updated the packages a couple of days ago, not sure when org-mode 9.4 was released). So in theory it should work. Trying now.

I can display a local image, but the example code block doesnt render a remote image. I am sure I have done a remote image before in a presentation somewhere...

do you mean it displayed inside emacs or when exported to html ?

It display in emacs. Are you asking about something different?

No, I'm interested in it displaying inside of emacs. I'm just wondering if that was the case when you had a remote image in a presentation.

I was just showing the magic of Emacs https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/13276-open-source-your-digital-life-with-emacs The images make a brief appearance at 10 mins into the video

Doh, it should be SPC b R to revert-buffer

Book should be updated soon, sorry for the confusion
