Hint: Setup with a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.)
Even though you are going to access Canvas Parent from your mobile device, you can add another student to your Observer account by using a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).
After signing in, click Account, then Settings, then Observing. From there, you'll see a +Student button. That's where you'll type in your student's pairing code. Once you enter the code, you'll see all of your students listed under the "observing" list. (How do I link a student to my user account as an observer?)

No matter where you sign-in to your Canvas account, you'll be able to monitor all of your students' courses. In Canvas Parent, you'll see the student's name listed in the top-middle of your screen. To switch to another student, tap the name, and a dropdown will appear. You'll be able to then select another student to view.
[Posted] How do I link a student to my user account as an observer?
If you signed up for a Canvas account as a parent, you can add students to observe within the same institution. Additionally, if an institution created an observer account linked to a student for you, you can add students to observe.
To link yourself to a student, you will need to enter a student-specific pairing code. Pairing codes are case sensitive and are valid for seven days. Students can generate pairing codes from their User Settings. Depending on institution permissions, admins and instructors may also be able to generate pairing codes. For more information on pairing codes, view the Pairing Codes - Frequently Asked Questions PDF.
Notes:
You cannot add students whose accounts are not within your same institution (Canvas URL). To observe students in another institution, you must sign up for an account using that institution's Canvas URL.
If you are not able to access all of a student's courses, the option to link to additional students is not available to you.
Once you have linked to a student from the Observing page, you cannot remove the student.
