Yes it's possible but the usb bandwidth is shared between your two cameras.
Pwc camera can only use the Usb1.1 so it's limit to ~800Kbytes/s. When
displaying with two camera (or more), so you can try to:
 - lower resolution
 - enable compression (use a greater level)
 - connect each camera on a different USB host controller
