Can you turn a Character Animator clip into a gif?

So a bit new to this program.

I'm wondering, is there a way to make an animation I made in Character animator into a loop able gif within Character Animator, or would I need to take the clip to a different program to do this?

I have a friend with a streaming channel who'd like me to make a looping gif of their mascot on screen during their streams and I'm wondering if I can use Character Animator to do this.

Thanks@

Create a scene in character animator, export a video via media encoder (It will say mp4), then when media encoder comes up change the video format to animated gif as the output format, then kick off the render Job.

When I do it, the gif comes with a black background. Is there a way to export the video without any background? Transparent

GIF files do not support transparency, so if you want a video file with transparency, you need to pick a format that supports transparency (most do not). I search for "alpha" in the media encoder - the alpha channel is the level of transparency, so any encoder with "alpha" in the name I would expect to support transparency. (You can also use "export media with transparency" from the menu. But it will be a video file of some format.)
