Media query doesn't work

Hi,

I typed a media query in my project but when I test it, it doesn't work at all. I added the viewport code in my html file, and here is the CSS code (media query at the end):

body {
    background-color: #fff;
    font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 0 !important;
    text-align: center;
}

header, footer {
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 5px !important;
    background-color: #fafafa;
    text-align: center;
}

h1 {
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 4%;
}

nav {
    text-align: center;
}

nav a {
    display: block;
    text-decoration: none;
    background-color: #fff;
    padding: 10px 0;
    margin: 9px 14px;
}

p {
    color: darkgray;
    width: 80%;
    margin: 30px auto;
}

#main {
    background-color: #fff;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 25px;
}

#main a {
    text-decoration: none;
}

#profilepic {
    width: 300px;
    margin-top: 20px;

}

.portfolioimage {
    width: 92%;
    height: 92%;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

.title {
    color: black;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 20px;
}

#title2 {
    padding-top: 30px;
    color: black;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 20px;
}

#bottomtext {
    border-top: 1px solid black;
    width: 90%;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

#studentname {
    float: left;
    padding: 30px 0;
}

#back {
    float: right;
    padding: 30px 0;
}

.bold {
    color: black;
    font-weight: bolder;
}

//* Media queries *//

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    nav a {
    display: inline;
    text-decoration: none;
    background-color: none;
}
}

Any idea? I don't understand why nothing happens with this media query. I'm working in the Brackets coding tool and trying to preview the media queries in Chrome. I can't see any difference when I change the Chrome browser size to preview the changes. Thanks!
