Off camera/Off screen?

Hey all, got a quick question; if my shot consists of one character actually visible and another character, in the room, but not seen by the viewer, how do I indicate that in the script? Do I put 'off camera' or 'off screen' or something beside their name when they talk?

I did try to search for an answer, but to no avail. It is like 1am and as you should all know by now, I'm not too sharp at the best of times, let alone at this hour, so forgive me if this has been discussed a thousand times already.

You can use OC or OS after their name to indicate that they're not visible. It's the same thing just a matter of preference but you should be consistent with whichever you choose.
