What does inline-block do in this case?

Hello,

At the end of video, he's got the display: inline-block; - But I delete it and put it back and both seems same effect. Why do we even need it?

@media (min-width: 769px) { .inln { width: auto; display: inline-block; } }

It's not clear what course and lesson you are referring to. You might want to take a look at this video about Posting a Question.

But each element has a default display setting, the actual setting varies with the element type. And it could be that the performance of the default and "inline-block" are similar with the window sizes you are testing with. The setting might be intended to accommodate other sizes, or maybe even future styling that hasn't been added yet.
