Does it really take up a third of the screen the whole time? I really hope this is for demonstration only...

I asume it's a setting to show it or not. Otherwise it would be very annoying, i don't need to see face of people i play with.

No, you can have the game full screened, you can have friends showing at the bottom, or you can focus a friends screen as the big one.

I think they showed 2 different sizes, one had 4 users taking full width, and one had it taking about half screen width. Height was proportional to width in both.
