I have live feeds from four GigE cameras. Is it possible to display all the four feeds in a single window.

it's possible of course

Suppose you are grabbing in cv::Mat m1,m2,m3,m4; that have same size and type

//define the tiled image so that it can contains 4 images
Mat tile
tile = Mat(2*m1.size(),m1.type());

//define 4 ROI where the single images will be copied to
Rect r1,r2,r3,r4;
r1 = Rect(0,0,m1.size());             // top left
r2 = Rect(m1.cols,0,m1.size());       // top right
r3 = Rect(0,m1.rows,m1.size());       // bottom left
r4 = Rect(m1.cols,m1.rows,m1.size()); // bottom right

// Transfer the image into tiled one
m1.copyTo(tile(r1));    m2.copyTo(tile(r2));
m3.copyTo(tile(r3));    m4.copyTo(tile(r4));

cv::imshow("Tiled images", tile);

Camera feed is live '.avi' video files.I am accessing each cameras one by one. So whether tiling is possible in this scenario.

Camera feed is live '.avi' video files means you have something like this:

cv::VideoCapture cam1("file1.avi");
...
cv::VideoCapture cam4("file4.avi");

than you easily can do

cam1 >> m1;
...
cam4 >> m4;

than use the code as is in the answer

@lm35 you are using (wrong) number instead of variables. m1.size() and others are not placeholders!!! And if you like numbers you should use 2*700 and not 2700
