To exit from screen, exit from all the shells that you had started in it, or you can also suspend it to background by issuing C-a d (control-a d).
You can later return to the suspended session by starting screen like this:
# screen -dr

user1:# screen
user2:# ssh user1@host user2:# screen -x
The first user hosts a screen session and the second user can connect to the non-disconnected "multi-display" session using the -x parameter. Text input is shared additionally.
