Using the display name rather than the user name for most forums is not the best for the chat since one using a display name that another is using could impostor a users identity and login (boot) another from the chat with the same name. It is even more of an issue of security when it comes to your chat administrators.
Below are the two parameters that can be used in your chat code.
Preferred parameter (recommended):
username: proboards.data('user').username
Not recommended parameter (displays and logs in with display name):
username: proboards.data('user').name
Make your choice wisely and know the cons of using the display name parameter.
