Hard to tell with the camera moving around, but do they fly/have wings? If they fly, they’re fungus gnats. Harmless but extremely annoying and they come from everywhere. Mostly they come from outside or from your potting mix.
If they don’t have wings then they’re springtails and you’ve hit the jackpot. They also come from everywhere, though personally mine came from an eBay seller for $9.99 USD before shipping. They’re priceless to any kind of bioactive terrarium, super helpful for potted plants, and cute too if you can get one under a microscope.
