Depends on what do you want to do.
You'll find beams properties in the palettes on the left side.

Usually beams will set automatically when you enter notes.
Maybe an atachement of a score with an explanation of your problem would be helpful.
As mentioned, beams are created autoamtically if you enter notes of a duration that are normally beamed (ie, eighth note or shorter). So if you choose eighth note or sixteenth notes as the duration and enter several notes, they are beamed automatically. See the Handbook under "note input" for more on entering notes into MuseScore.

I'm having a similar problem ans the handbook isn't any help. i am trying to connect 2 quarter notes at 4/4 tempo with a beam and it isn't working, What do I do?

1/4 notes never have beams. If you want the stems to be the same direction then click one of the notes and press X to turn it over.

If you are transcribing and it looks like you have a beam connecting 2 1/4 notes, then it is probably a tremolo between 2 1/8th notes. The two notes need to be 1/8th notes, not 1/4 notes. Open the tremolo palette, click the first of the 1/8th notes and then the single line with no beam on it (the fifth one counting from the top left). This sounds like what you are describing.

I am guessing it is simpler than this. What you are seeing as quarter notes connected by a beam is nothing of the sort - those are simply eighth notes. So enter them as such in the first place, just as described in the previous responses to the original question.
