How do I resize the window of screen?

Just got into using Screen for remote pair-programming purposes with Vim.

Was wondering if there was a way to resize the windows as our terminal space is somewhat very limited with the default settings.

Currently I'm getting into screen like this:

User 1: screen -R test
User 2: screen -x -R test

Most of the time screen will simply resize the windows it owns whenever you resize the terminal emulator that owns the screen session.

However, when someone connects to your screen session and your screen is wider or higher than that person's you or that person can use Ctrl+a F (uppercase F, i.e. with Shift held down) to adjust the size of the current window (inside screen) to that of the terminal emulator in which screen runs.
