connect 2 macs to one thunderbolt monitor

I have a thunderbolt monitor. I use a Mac Pro computer. I would like to connect a new Mac mini to the same monitor, as well as continuing to use the Mac Pro. Is this possible?

Mac Pro, macOS 10.15

Not without plugging and unplugging devices. There are no magic Thunderbolt switches.

If you do not need the full scale resolution for the Mini and if the things you want to do on the Mini are not graphics intensive, you could use Screen Sharing to view the Mini on the MacPro. Best performance will be via ethernet unless you have one of the new ludicrous speed WiFi routers.
