Hello, new to this forum and to the gardening world. I was hoping someone could help identify the pests. Please see the short video. The are most prevalent on top of the soil but are also on most of my plants. Any help is much appreciated

It’s hard to see but look at the little pepper and there are tiny bugs crawling on it.
Unable to see what they are but if you want to get rid of them spray with a spinosad based insecticide such as Captain Jacks Dead Bug. It is also possible that they are not insects, but instead a mite. If so, spinosad will not kill them efficiently and you should instead spray with Neem Oil. In either case use any left over spray mix as a soil drench.

Thanks for the info. Here is another video they are on the black irrigation pipe.
