Crawling bugs in my pothos soil

I have a golden pothos, indoors right in front of a faded window.

I have noticed in the soil there are a lot of crawling "bugs" and ive also seen some white larvae.

In the video i tried dropping a bit of hidrogen peroxide and you can see even more of them crawling (sorry for the shaky video)

What are they? Are they harmful? How do i get rid of them? I do not want any bug in my room even if they are good 😅

And how do i prevent them from spreading to my other plants?

They are like brownish/greyish, and more round.

Ive reaearched a bit online but im not sure, the springtail photos i see in internet dont look like this, since they are not white and large, so im a bit lost.

They stay mostly in the soil, ive seen a couple of them in the vines next to the soil but i havent seen any in the leaves.

I usually water only when the top part is dry. In this video i had watered recently.

The soil is the one that came when i bought it, and its in the nursery pot with drainage holes.
